Overview:

Frame relay is a technique used to transport data from locations to location, just like T-1 lines or ISDN connections do. In frame relay, there are a number of locations on the network that can send and receive data. These connections are known as Ports. Each location that needs access to the frame system, needs to have one of these ports.

Every port in a Frame Relay system has an Address. This address is Unique to the port at that specific location. The port is connected to the equipment that handles the Data on one side, to the Frame Relay Cloud on the other side. The equipment that handles the data can send data out the frame relay port. This happens in the form of Packets, or Frames. Each frame is built up of two parts; the actual Data and the Control block. These frames are sent over Virtual Connections.
