FRAME RELAY NETWORK DEPLOYMENTS
A typical FR network consists of a number of DTE devices, such as routers,
connected to remote ports on multiplexer equipment via traditional point-to-point
services such as T1, Fractional T1, or 56 Kb circuits. FR is deployed in both public
carrier-provided networks and in private enterprise networks.
• Public Carrier-Provided Networks - The Frame Relay switching equipment is
located in the central office of a telecommunications carrier. Subscribers are
charged based on their network use but are relieved from administering and
maintaining the Frame Relay network equipment and service. Generally, the DCE
equipment is owned by the telecommunications provider, and the DTE equipment
is owned by the customer or leased from the service provider. The majority of
today's FR networks are public carrier-provided networks.
• Private Enterprise Networks - In private FR networks, the administration and
maintenance of the network is the responsibility of an enterprise.
