Frame-realy encapsulation ietf/cisco

Dear friends,

I have a question about the encapsulation of the frame relay between two sides. As long as I know the encapsulation of the end DTE devices should be the same. It has nothing to do with the frame-relay switch.

I made some test and I am totally confused. No matter what encapsulation I put on on each side I always have connectivity. No matter that on one side it is cisco on the other ietf.

Router 3

interface Serial0/0/0
 ip address 154.1.0.3 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 ip ospf network point-to-multipoint non-broadcast
 frame-relay map ip 154.1.0.4 304 IETF
 frame-relay map ip 154.1.0.5 305
 no frame-relay inverse-arp

Router 4

interface Serial0/0/0
 ip address 154.1.0.4 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 ip ospf network point-to-multipoint non-broadcast
 frame-relay map ip 154.1.0.3 403
 frame-relay map ip 154.1.0.5 403
 no frame-relay inverse-arp

R4#ping 154.1.0.3 repeat 10

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 10, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 154.1.0.3, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (10/10), round-trip min/avg/max = 8/10/12 ms

Please help me with this confusion. Should I make them the same on both sides or it doesn't matter ?

Thanks
Nick
