Frame Relay-to-ATM Interworking (FRF.5) VLL
Figure 6: Frame Relay-to-ATM Network Interworking (FRF.5) VLL
Figure 19 provides an example of a point-to-point Frame Relay service between users where one
user is connected to an existing ATM network, the other to a 7750 SR PE node on an IP/MPLS
network.
This VLL is realized using an ATM AAL5 SDU PW between the 7750 SR PE nodes. It is
configured by adding a FR SAP to an apipe service using vc-type atm-sdu. The 7750 SR PE2 node
performs an FRF.5 interworking function to interwork the ingress and egress data paths in addition
to the operations required in an FR and an ATM VLL.
The PW is initiated using Targeted LDP signaling as specified in draft-ietf-pwe3-control-protocol-
xx.txt. The SDP can be of an MPLS or a GRE type.
