Hi ;
let me try to explain this .
in the frame relay interfaces generally ,you need to inform the frame relay how
 to map L3 addresses to L2 DLCIs , it is like you tell the port "if you want to
 reach this IP address , use this DLCI "

for physical and multipoint interfaces , the Frame relay by default will consid
er the port can be connected to differnet locations , so that he expects you to
 inform him which DLCI he should use to reach certain IP address , if you confu
se him ..he will simply give you encapsultation error message .

this is not the case with point-to-point subif , where the frame relay consider
 that any traffic should be forwarded over the DLCI defined to him , so that yo
u dont really need to map anything if you have p2p subif ..the interface will f
oward over this DLCI anything that is in the same subnet as the subif .

on the hub router ,he doesnt care if the remote end is p2p or any other thing .
.he use the IP address for decisions..then he try to map IP address to the righ
t DLCI where you have to provide teh maps yourself.

i hope this whole "right" and helps .
