Re: Frame-relay connectionless ?

Anantha,

Frame relay is a connection oriented protocol, but as the guide says it
doesnt do anything on itself for
retransmission for errors.Hence service from the upper layers are required.
Wordings like this really gets all confused..-:)

Mark,

i believe peer to peer FR is also connection oriented as any others...think
VC.
Does FREEK have something to do with the data path ?

Tharak.
