The document details Frame Relay, a data link layer packet-switching protocol used for medium to long-distance connectivity, highlighting its advantages over leased lines through the use of virtual circuits (VCs). It explains key terminology, such as Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI), Committed Information Rate (CIR), and different types of virtual circuits (PVCs and SVCs). Configuration steps for routers at different office locations are also provided, demonstrating the practical application of the Frame Relay protocol in a network setup.
