Frame Relay (FR) is a high performance WAN protocol that operates at the
physical and data-link layers of the OSI reference model. This protocol was
originally designed for use across ISDN interfaces but today it is used over a
variety of other network interfaces as well. Frame-relay is a strictly layer 2 protocol
suite which enables it to offer high performance and greater transmission
efficiency. This makes Frame Relay suitable for current WAN applications like
LAN interconnection.
