Publisher's Synopsis
Frame Relay is a high–speed packet switching technology and an internationally recognized transmission facility. It offers the chance to increase network performance and provides relatively wide area data communications. This comprehensive reference guide covers all aspects of Frame Relay Networking from its operation and utilization to economic factors. It discusses Frame Relay′s development and architecture and examines, in detail, the equipment required to take advantage of its transmission capability. Frame Relay Networking includes different networking scenarios to enable the reader to understand the composition of the standard frame, the key service parameters and their advantages and disadvantages. Other features include:
∗ Covers Service Level Agreements (SLAs), high speed network access, and priority queues
∗ Provides information to implement frame relay effectively into a network
∗ Specific information on when to consider its use
∗ How to use the technology effectively
∗ How to tune adjustable network parameters and how to compare the benefits of different carriers.
Written by a well–known author, this book provides a single point of reference for Frame Relay. Aimed primarily at network managers and LAN administrators, it is also essential reading for telecommunication engineers and postgraduate students on communication and networking courses.
