The NetWare Link/Frame Relay software is a streamlined, connection-oriented frame-mode data service based on frame-switching/relaying technology---the process of quickly transporting High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) frames through a network.
NetWare Link/Frame Relay is based on frame relay, a WAN telecommunications protocol standard specified by the ITU-T and American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Frame relay was originally specified by ITU-T as an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) frame-mode service.
NetWare Link/Frame Relay supports AppleTalk, TCP/IP, IPX, and the source route bridge software of the Novell Internet Access Server 4.1.
For more information about features, functions, and how NetWare Link/Frame Relay works, refer to "Understanding."
