QUESTION POSED ON: 01 May 2007
What is the advantage of frame relay over leased lines?

>
EXPERT RESPONSE
Leased lines are typically how frame relay data transmission is conducted. Perhaps I should clarify some terminology to clear some things up. Frame relay is a way to transmit data across a leased line. In fact, it's one of a few methods to handle encapsulation and packaging of data across a leased line. Leased lines are typically implemented as point to point solutions linking two locations together.
