Chapter
11: FRAME RELAY
In data communication,
carriers are not really aware for proper data transmission; they
prioritize only their sales not knowing that the first most important
thing to manage is the transmission of data. Now the frame relay
exists in order to improve the data communication in terms of
switching and transmitting of data. It can improve the data
communication because it has a higher bandwidth that is enough to
carry the customer services. The customers can actually demand if
they want a higher bandwidth so that they can improve their system.
That’s why very important that we know how to manage and used frame
relay.
Mostly in our data
communication we encountered problems especially during the
transmission. The problem like errors, delay and etc. will occur. To
lessen this problem the frame relay also is a good solution for this
because it uses a high speed communication and low delay networking.
They are using fast packet to reduce delay, overhead and even the
cost of service has been reduce. Like for example in our project,
there is always problem occurs. That’s why we need to find a
solution so that the problem is minimizing. The same for the frame
relay it will lessen the problems that occur.
The frame relay used in
the means of helping the system to send data in a high speed
transmission. It has a speed of about 56Kbps-50Mbps for transmitting
data. The speed is a very big factor to consider in order to satisfy
the clients, and also the clients can do their task easily using the
system. And to access the high speed communication they used devices
like FRAD or frame relay access devices. I can compare this matter in
our personal thinking, if we have delay in our thinking it’s very
difficult for us to move forward and do what we want to do. That’s
why speed is very important especially in our communication systems.
During the implementation
of frame relay their desire was to carry data over Wide Area Network.
For this implementation they used revise version of data link
protocol. They used this for the efficiency of transmitting, because
it will carry the traffic during the operation. This is efficient
because error has been eliminated. As we all know efficiency is one
of the important things to be considered especially during
implementation because it is the basis of the end users to choose
what is right for them.
All of this benefits
coming from the help of frame relay helps me to really understand how
important fast and efficient communication is. All of us
communicating always, but we do not consider the fact that this will
not happen if proper data communication are not implemented. That’s
why we need to know first how to handle data transmission before
anything else, like voice processing, because proper data
transmission is the most important part of communication.

One of the function of Frame Relay is to carry data over the Wide Area Network. It helps on improving the transmission of data rate.
TumugonBurahinhow will it carry the traffic during the operation?
TumugonBurahinIt will carry data traffic across the WAN then link the local area network to other local network.
Burahinhow does it differ from the other technique?
TumugonBurahinit is faster and efficient.
BurahinCan I use IP any number/unnumbered with Frame Relay?
BurahinIf you do not have the IP address space to use many subinterfaces, you can use IP unnumbered on each subinterface. You need to use static routes or dynamic routing for your traffic to get routed. And you must use point-to-point subinterfaces. For more information, refer to the Unnumbered IP over a Point-to-Point Subinterface Example section of Configuring Frame Relay.

TumugonBurahinGive me one advantage and disadvantage of Frame Relay, it is important to know. by the way nice info.
TumugonBurahinframe relay is cost effective
BurahinThis is good for frame relay It has a variable speed about 56Kbps-50Mbps for transmitting data.
TumugonBurahinadvantage.
TumugonBurahinframe relay is cost effective.
so Frame Relay offers an attractive alternative to both dedicated lines and X.25 networks for connecting LANs to bridges and routers.
TumugonBurahinThis is a good article. it helps a lot for all students encountering this topic. Frame Relay really is device that transmit data in a fast rate..
TumugonBurahinThanks for the information Francis..
i agree that frame relay helps develop in the improvement in data communications in terms of switching bcoz it has enough bandwidth to carry through customer service.
TumugonBurahinnice post pal...keep it up ;)
