Frame relay is designed to provide cost effective data transmission over a shared network. Frame relay derived its name from the fact that it transfers data via various sized units referred to as frames. These frames are commonly transmitted through a shared network. Frame relay is many times faster than its predecessors, such as x.25, because frame relay is a streamlined protocol designed for speed. (For more about frame relay please click here)

Coverage Area

Unlike DSL and other broadband technologies that are limited to only densely populated areas, T1 service is available just about anywhere with a phone line. T1, also known as DS1, uses repeaters to boost up the signal strength of the transmission - allowing it to travel up to 50 miles away from the nearest Central Office location.

Frame Relay Definition Continued.

This protocol flourishes because it is designed to compliment modern digital lines which are virtually noise free. With frame relay, data transmission usually originates through the private line of a customer, transfers to a shared network at the nearest frame relay switch, travels the majority of its distance through the shared frame relay network, and then transfers to the private line closest to the receiving customer. Frame relay is normally less expensive than point-to-point lines because many customers use and share the cost of the frame relay network, rather than each paying for a private line for the entire distance their data is transmitted. Private line cost is distance sensitive, so the longer the distance utilized via a shared network, the greater the cost savings experienced by the customer. Another factor which makes frame relay less expensive than point-to-point is that the nearest frame relay node is often much closer to the customer than the provider’s central office. This results in less private line distance being calculated into pricing. An additional benefit is that with frame relay it is often possible to connect to a provider which is hundreds of miles away for close to the same price as connecting to a local provider. For this reason, the number of providers which can be compared is significantly expanded. Frame relay is primarily used for the transmission of intermediate data between LANs, and between end points of a wide area network. The rapid increase in use of LANs and increased availability of fiber optic links has resulted in increased usage of frame relay. Frame relay is at times used for video conferencing, however, point-to-point lines are much better suited for the on-going high rate of bandwidth required by video conferencing. For companies which can afford point-to-point and absolutely require the best stability and most secure line possible, point-to-point continues to be considered a preferred option.

Is MPLS Causing Frame Relay to be Obsolete?

Written by: Dennis Green - Dec 3, 2008

MPLS (multiprotocol label switching), is only one of many factors that are resulting in a diminishment of demand for frame relay. Other factors include the lower cost of clear channel T1, increased demand for; VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), video conferencing, class of service (CoS), and a tendency toward converged services on one large pipe. At one time, and for many years, frame relay was considered the state-of-the-art broadband technology. This time has now passed. Many substantial businesses continue to rely on frame for their bandwidth and networking needs, but in most cases, this has more to do with procrastination and a lack of understanding about just how easy, and cost effective it would be to switch to a fully managed, any-to-any location network based on MPLS technology. In the not to distant future, virtually all companies will switch from frame, to MPLS based networks. To make this change now is virtually free. Installation is commonly free, the routers, and configuration of routers is often free, the cost of MPLS bandwidth is usually far lower than bandwidth provided with frame relay, and the speed of bandwidth provided with MPLS is often far higher than the much smaller circuits utilized with frame for the same cost. MPLS networks are often completely managed by telecom providers, thus lowering customer costs for networking staff and reducing the workload of often overworked IT personnel. MPLS has far more abilities than frame. For example, with MPLS, many applications can be provided over one circuit simultaneously. This eliminates the need for individual circuits for each application. With MPLS, the need for a multitude of permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) needed to connect various network locations is eliminated. MPLS based networks provide any-to-any network location connectivity without the need for a myriad of PVCs required with frame. MPLS easily facilitates routine data transfer, VOIP, and video conferencing simultaneously with application prioritization. This prioritization, accomplished with CoS, prevents routine data transfer from interfering with higher priority applications such as VoIP and video conferencing utilizing the same circuit.
