Frame Relay technology Frame relay is a byproduct of the ISDN standards work. Frame relay was initially expected to be offered on Broadband ISDN networks, but it is currently marketed as an upgrade to X.25 packet-switched networks. Frame relay makes sense if your enterprise network interconnects more than four sites and network traffic is fairly heavy. Frame relay is generally considered to be able to provide service at speeds up to 2.048Mbits/sec, although some service providers claim that they will be able to squeeze out 45Mbits/sec. Public frame relay carriers have rolled out frame relay services in the increments of 56Kbits/sec, fractional T1, and full T1.
