  Frame Relay
       
          DTE-{DCE" rel="nofollow"> A DTE-{DCE interface specification based
          on LAPD (Q.921), the Integrated Services Digital Network
          LAPB+({X.25" rel="nofollow">version of LAPB ({X.25 data link layer).  A common
          specification was produced by a consortium of StrataCom,
          Cisco, Digital, and Northern Telecom.
       
          Frame Relay is the result of wide area networking
          LAN-{WAN" rel="nofollow">requirements for speed; LAN-{WAN and LAN-LAN
          internetworking; "bursty" data communications; multiplicity
          of protocols and protocol transparency.  These
          requirements can be met with technology such as optical
          fibre lines, allowing higher speeds and fewer transmission
          errors; intelligent network end devices ({personal computers,
          workstations, and servers); standardisation and adoption
          of ISDN protocols.  Frame Relay could connect dedicated lines
          X.25+to+ATM,+SMDS,+BISDN+and+other+"{fast+packet" rel="nofollow">and X.25 to ATM, SMDS, BISDN and other "{fast packet"
          technologies.
       
          Frame Relay uses the same basic data link layer framing and
          Frame Check Sequence so current X.25 hardware still works.
          It adds addressing (a 10-bit Data Link Connection Identifier
          (DLCI)) and a few control bits but does not include
          retransmissions, link establishment, windows or error
          recovery.  It has none of X.25's session layer but adds some
          simple interface management.  Any network layer protocol can
          be used over the data link layer Frames.
