Frame Relay

is a concept where the information is sent using data frames in a digitalformat. Using this relay service the data can be sent in a fast and efficient manner through

the internet

. Frame Relay is also a cheaper way to send data from one pointto another.The

internet service providers

use the Frame Relay Networks when transferring

voice and data

so that it is fast and also is commonly used in Local Area Networksand Wide Area Networks. Using the Frame Relay the end user gets a Frame Relaynode which is unique for that user and this node is used for frequent transmission of data.

Frame Relay Features

•

Frame Relay is the best way of data service to the rural areas since there is aneed for data transfer and it is cheaper to transfer data through frame relay..

•

It is put to best use in telecommunications industry because it is cost effective..

•

Frame Relay puts all the data in a frame and does not provide any datacorrection. The end point takes care of the data correction aspect speeding upthe data transfer processes on the whole..

•

Frame Relay takes the support of the backbone provided on the

Fiber OpticNetworks

and the Wide Area Networks for functioning smoothlyFrame Relay is a protocol that is based on the HDLC based networks. The data that is being sent on the HDLC networks are sent in the form of frames and the basicfeatures that are used to complete the process of sending and receiving data is throughaddress, control, data and CRC error corrections. Frame Relay infrastructure containsthe Frame Relay circuits which are created while installing Frame Relay.In the Frame Relay circuit the sessions are both initiated and ended by the terminalsthemselves and these sessions are all related to the applications working on the FrameRelay circuit.

Frame Relay Topology

The Frame Relay Topology provides a visual idea of the Frame Relay Network and itmakes the understanding of Frame Relay Network an easier task. However a topologyhas to be understood in many aspects like logical aspect, physical aspect and afunctional aspect. This applies to any Network Topology and not only Frame Relay.
