Physical Layer Interface Implementation Agreement

Overview Frame Relay standards specify frame formats and procedures for the transfer of data using frame relaying networks. These standards do not address the characteristics of the physical interface at a UNI or NNI. Frame relay operates successfully over a diverse set of physical interfaces that are defined by a variety of standards organizations including the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and national standards bodies . This implementation agreement does not mandate or prohibit any specific physical interface. If an implementation claims compliance with this agreement for an interface addressed by the agreement, the implementation of the interface should follow the guidelines of this document.
