Abstract
The Frame Relaying Service will provide the opportunity to offer packet-like frame transmission service at the Link Layer (layer 2 of the OSI model) at speeds up to 1.5 Mbps. Frame Relaying will be able to minimize processing overhead and allow for fast switching speeds and greater throughput. The initial application of the Frame Relaying service is expected to be the interconnection of local area networks (LANs) and personal computers (PCs) which inherently possess their own higher layer functions, such as flow control and error recovery capabilities. Frame Relaying can convey LAN frames basically unchanged or with minimal changes between communicating LANs. The ease of inter-LAN and PC to PC connections is a significant advantage and may become a critical characteristic of the potential service
