MPLS, Frame Relay, and Ethernet
Overview
The significance of Frame Relay/Ethernet integration must be understood in economic, not technological, terms. Frame Relay (and by this we mean Frame services backed by ATM aggregation) represents the mainstream of modern business data networking, with nearly 2 million deployed ports and approximately $13 billion in global revenue. Metro Ethernet, on the other hand, is the consensus choice for the next generation of business networking, based primarily on its revolutionary bandwidth and easy compatibility with LAN Ethernet. This places a heavy focus on the technology that can bridge the gap between today's Frame Relay and tomorrow's Ethernet.
This paper looks at the use of existing Frame Relay deployments with integrated support from Ethernet services in the deployment of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) in metropolitan area networks.
