[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] IP over Frame Relay Network

carl@umd5.umd.edu (Carl Symborski) (03/30/91)

To all,

I am not really sure where to ask this question but here goes...
Is anyone working on or has thoughts concerning running IP over a
Frame Relay network?  What I had hoped to see (but didn't) was an RFC
to the tune of "Standard for the transmission of IP datagrams over
Frame Relay networks".

Thanks,

Carl Symborski     -      carl@umd5.umd.edu

Carl,

This is actively in progress in the "IP over Large Public Data
Networks" working group of the IETF.  A new (hopefully close to
final) draft of the specification will soon be released, based
upon discussion at the St. Louis working group meeting.  To join
the discussion, send a subscription request to
iplpdn-request@nri.reston.va.us .

Regards,
Andy
