Frame Relay and MPLS
by the Frame Relay Forum

Abstract:

The role of IP in today's networks continues to expand and grow in importance. However, Frame Relay also continues to generate significant revenue in service provider networks. As Frame Relay networks are often used to carry IP traffic, there is tremendous discussion about how both IP and Frame Relay networks will evolve to new technologies and architectures. One current hot topic is the role of MPLS in the deployment of next generation networks. This paper looks at the similarities and differences between Frame Relay and MPLS, and how they can operate together. We examine the reasons behind the development of MPLS and discuss likely scenarios in which both Frame Relay and MPLS have important roles to play.
