Talk:Frame relay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But do you know what the consequences of using Frame Relay are and in what scenarios it is good to use it?
Is the key to Frame Relay the utilization of existing telephone wires and infrastructure? After reading this page I fail to grasp the principal reason for its existence.

[edit] Descriptive Image of Protocol
It would be nice if someone included an image or a table layout of what the Frame Relay header/protocol looks like. Having a text only description of the header makes undestanding or even just imagining it quite hard. The type of switching used for frame relay should be included here.

[edit] This article needs help!
This article needs a basic description of the technology upfront. For those with low to medium knowledge needing a basic techincal description, there is no jumping-off point. A good, basic description of how it works and how it varies from other models would help clarify. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.68.204.87 (talk) 02:29, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Speed vz X.25
The X.25 standard was upgraded in 1992 to accomodate 2 Mbps speeds. If FR is 20 times faster, where is the info that says FR is available at 80 Mbps?--itpastorn (talk) 09:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- FR is typically provided over T3 at 44 Mbps (and 20 x 2 = 40 != 80). Dgtsyb (talk) 13:58, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair comparison?
I heard Frame Relay mentioned as the "Poor man's ATM". Is that assertion practically correct? 82.131.210.162 (talk) 10:53, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
