Abstract
Frame Relay connectivity is provided via point to multipoint networks. Frame Relay access can thus be readily provided via point to multipoint networks such as data over cable networks and wireless networks. The end user obtains Frame Relay quality-of-service features via the point to multipoint network. The network service provider gains an additional method of access to the Frame Relay wide area network (WAN). Frame Relay quality of service information is translated into parameters appropriate for use with point to multipoint protocols so that point to multipoint network bandwidth may be properly measured.
