Frame Relay :
Frame relay is a kind of network technology which was established to overcome the problem to solve X.25 network architecture or model. It was developed in early 80s.
It is a frame of packet switching based on the use of variable length link-layer frames. There is no network layer. It provides a stream-line capability for use over high-speed packet switched networks. It is used in place of X.25.
