Relay
A virtual circuit technology that provides low-level
(physical and data link layers) service is response to the
following demands:
6-LANs to be connected
• The data rate is still not high enough for protocols with
even higher data rates ( e.g. B-ISDN)
This makes a
connection
request using
the network
layer addresses
of DTEs
2 methods:
1. The switch can use response frames from the receiver, full duplex
mode
2. The switch can use a predefined connection (DLCI=1023) to send
special frames for this specific purpose
Same situation
occurs in a
Frame Relay
since it does not
use flow control
