<div><p>Frame relay is a protocol for routing frames through the network
based on the IP address field (data link connection identifier)
in the frame and for managing the route or virtual connection. </p>
<div class="section"><p>Frame-relay networks in the U.S. support data transfer rates at
T1 (1.544 Mbps) and T3 (45 Mbps) speeds. You can think of frame relay as a
way of utilizing existing T1 and T3 lines owned by a service provider. Most
telephone companies now provide Frame Relay service for customers who want
connections at 56 Kbps to T1 speeds. (In Europe, Frame Relay speeds vary from
64 Kbps to 2 Mbps. In the U.S., Frame Relay is quite popular because it is
relatively inexpensive. However, it is being replaced in some areas by faster
technologies, such as asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). </p>
