Frame Relay Over MPLS (FRoMPLS): Today, Tomorrow and the Future

Tags:
frame relay

Overview Today's telecom marketplace is perhaps more interesting than ever. The fast and wild days of unbridled optimism in the 1990's have passed, but the job of providing for growing data communication needs remains. It is at this critical moment in time that one find himself/herself increasingly considering the relationship of the established technology of frame relay to the emerging technology of MPLS. Often this discussion is framed in terms of a contest, frame relay vs. MPLS. Similarities have even been drawn to the old arguments of connection-less (IP) vs. connection-oriented (frame relay, ATM) technologies with the two sides represented by the "Bell-heads" on one side and the "Net-heads" on the other.

IP VPNs - networking for an interconnected world?

But what do they offer above and beyond infrastructure relying on our old friends Frame Relay and ATM? But IP VPNs have to provide something more than VPNs based on Frame Relay or ATM. In other scenarios, Frame and ATM can be equally as useful, yet...

Convergence: lower costs and extra flexibility - the IP VPN promise

For multinationals, moving from international Frame Relay circuits to an MPLS IP VPN does not necessarily save money in the short term though longer-term financial payoffs are already being reported by early adopters.

Infonet wraps up Swiss IP VPN deal

Besides the increasingly popular IP, it works with protocols such as ATM and Frame Relay. Bobst has signed a four-year contract for an MPLS-enabled IP VPN, pulling together 22 sites in Europe, the Americas and Asia.

AA slashes £2m a year off voice and data costs

The AA was running an old BT frame-relay network for its data and wide area network and using Energis for its voice network and call centre management but has now switched to a three-year managed services deal with Cable & Wireless (C&W).

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
