What technical advantages does a frame-relay network have over an IP routed network?
As long as one's source and destination is identified by IP address, one would need an infrastructure that understand those addresses. There had been some debate whether ATM will remove the need for IP. My view is that it may be acceptable (TCP directly over ATM) if ATM can comprehensively taken over the world .... which given the dominance of Ethernet for desktop is extremely unlikely. As long as there are multiple transport network technologies in a (most) path, IP routing will be required. John
