Frame Relay VPNs vs. IP VPNs
The role of IP in today's networks continues to expand and grow in importance. As today much of IP traffic is carried over frame relay networks, there is tremendous discussion about how our networks will evolve to new technologies and architectures. One current hot topic is certainly the role of IP VPNs. This presentation will look at the current traffic trends driving this discussion, the present situation of frame relay in our networks, and provide a compare and contrast for FR vs. IP VPNs . Finally, there will be a discussion of a possible scenario under which both types of VPNs will integrate for a high performance network architecture of the future.
