ATLAS Frame Relay User Manual

61200263L1-1.1

UDP
User Datagram Protocol. Connectionless protocol defined by RFC 768 for transmission of data without
acknowledgment or error control.

UNI
User to Network Interface. Defines the interface between the CPE and the frame relay providers’
switch.

Voice Compression
A means of reducing the bandwidth required for transmission of voice traffic with minimal impact on
the quality of the voice.
