Description
Are you looking to understand the technology of frame relay and the benefits it provides? This book clearly explains in a non-technical way the principles of frame relay and discusses the applications it offers. For those wanting a more detailed understanding of the technology, an in-depth description is also given on how the protocol is structured, what the control fields mean and do, and how different devices should react on receiving certain messages. Features of the book include: * An explanation of the pros and cons of frame relay. * A description of worldwide frame relay applications and available public services. * Details of vendor approaches to frame relay. * An explanation of the frame relay standardization process. * An insight into the improvements being considered by the Frame Relay Forum.
