“The advent of MPLS, plus many other factors are resulting in less demand for frame relay.”

Is MPLS Causing Frame Relay to be Obsolete?

Written by: Dennis Green - Aug 28, 2008

MPLS (multiprotocol label switching), is only one of many factors that are resulting in a diminishment of demand for frame relay. Other factors include the lower cost of clear channel T1, increased demand for; VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), video conferencing, class of service (CoS), and a tendency toward converged services on one large pipe. At one time, and for many years, frame relay was considered the state-of-the-art broadband technology. This time has now passed. Many substantial businesses continue to rely on frame for their bandwidth and networking needs, but in most cases, this has more to do with procrastination and a lack of understanding about just how easy, and cost effective it would be to switch to a fully managed, any-to-any location network based on MPLS technology. In the not to distant future, virtually all companies will switch from frame, to MPLS based networks. To make this change now is virtually free. Installation is commonly free, the routers, and configuration of routers is often free, the cost of MPLS bandwidth is usually far lower than bandwidth provided with frame relay, and the speed of bandwidth provided with MPLS is often far higher than the much smaller circuits utilized with frame for the same cost. MPLS networks are often completely managed by telecom providers, thus lowering customer costs for networking staff and reducing the workload of often overworked IT personnel. MPLS has far more abilities than frame. For example, with MPLS, many applications can be provided over one circuit simultaneously. This eliminates the need for individual circuits for each application. With MPLS, the need for a multitude of permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) needed to connect various network locations is eliminated. MPLS based networks provide any-to-any network location connectivity without the need for a myriad of PVCs required with frame. MPLS easily facilitates routine data transfer, VOIP, and video conferencing simultaneously with application prioritization. This prioritization, accomplished with CoS, prevents routine data transfer from interfering with higher priority applications such as VoIP and video conferencing utilizing the same circuit.

T1 Los Angeles Continued.

T1 lines are capable of delivering 1.54 Mbps simultaneously in both directions, one direction for each pair of copper lines. T1 lines are dedicated, in that they are always connected, and are also extremely stable. Most reputable providers include service level agreements which guarantee the reliability of the T1s they offer. There are several types of T1 line. These include: full (1.54 Mbps), fractional (commonly 128 Kbps to 756 Kbps), burstable (less expensive for companies which normally do not need a full T1, but at times due to peak work loads, need a burst to full T1 bandwidth), integrated (one T1 line comprised of any combination the types of T1 listed here), channelized DS1 (another name for integrated T1), point-to-point (direct and constant T1 connection between to locations), data (internet), voice (telephone), local (local phone service), pri (voice service which includes added features such as caller ID), and frame relay (a T1 network between two or more locations). Each of these types of T1 has advantages over the others, depending on the specific needs of your company. Also, the availability of each is based on the offerings of each T1 provider and the geographic location. Los Angeles has the highest concentration of t1 providers in the country, therefore prices are extremely competitive.
