The frame relay market is booming-Computer Shopper magazine reported in its December 1994 issue that total revenue in the field is expected to grow from $485 million in 1994 to $2.4 billion in 1997. An indispensable guide for network designers, administrators, engineers, and their managers, this practical tutorial is completely revised to include the latest data on frame relay architecture, standards, and associated technologies. Author Uyless Black has expanded the material on frame relay multicasting and other aspects fo frame relay operations, as well as how frame relay relates to TCP/IP. He includes a new chapter on performance issues and explains how frame relay fits into current and emerging technologies. This second edition also contains a number of new implementation examples.
