Atm to frame relay interworking configuration examples.
In my posts, i use the term frame to represent a data link layer unit of information, and the term packet to represent a network layer unit of information. Frame relay gives you more bandwidth applications with less delay. Atm and frame relay services computer science department university of crete hy536 network technology lab ii. So the providers can use frame relay, atm or ppp inside their networks. Packets may not be delivered in the same sequence as that at the sending end.
Frame relay was also intended to be for data only on a reliable network, using fibre links. Atm uses fixed packet lengths of 53 bytes 5 bytes of overhead and 48 bytes of user data, which is more suitable for voice transmissions. Some of the important differences between a frame relay network and and x. Telenetwork and trillium using for isdn in pbx or atmframe relay core switch lan. It is a protocol that used sonet as its transport mechanism, and it was designed use these 53byte cells, 48 bytes would be your data, and then there would be a 5byte routing header just before the data was sent over the atm network. All locations plug into the frame relay cloud, which is a conglomeration of dozens or hundreds of framerelay switches and routers. X 25 frame relay packet switching more information will be explained about frame relay packet switching virtualcircuit widearea network new type of. Recommend the superior technology and explain your rationale.
Data is sent in hdlc packets, referred to as frames. Frame relay was designed for use on links with errorrates far lower than available when x. Atm atm has four important differences from frame relay. Framerelay is one of the wan protocols you need to understand if you plan to become ccna certified. Ppt frame relay powerpoint presentation free to download. The bandwidth for frame relay is provided in the form of a commited information rate cir, generally a percentage of a t1 line.
Studies have shown that frame relaybased routers can process 10 times as many frames as routers relying on x. In the first layer physical another overhead is added, which includes the header and the trailer. Frame relay takes data packets from a network layer protocol, such as ip or ipx 1, encapsulates them as the data portion of a frame relay frame, and then passes the frame to the physical layer for delivery on the wire. Introduced in the early 1980s and popular in europe up through the mid 1990s, x.
Egress lers remove the label and forwarding the unlabelled ip packet towards its destination. Its also one of the most difficult protocols to understand for most ccna students.
