John,
If you order a T1 from A provider that is 1536 Mbs you get that bandwidth
all to yourself you DO NOT have to SHARE it with anyone. It is as if you,
and the other side of the connection had a long cable between the two sites,
and only those two site could used that cable. All of the data you transmit
under normal circumstance (no errors) will get through. This comes at a
price.
Frame-Relay on the other hand is shared bandwidth. Yes! the provider will
under normal conditions guarantee the bandwidth that you request (CIR =
Committed Information Rate), say 256k, 512k etc. You will even be able to
burst for a certain period of time if there is bandwidth available to your
port speed. But if the network becomes congested some of your packets will
not get to their destination because they could have met a condition (DE +
Discard eligible) set in the core network, or by the subscriber, that
required them to be dropped under certain circumstances, like high network
congestion,(This varies as some carriers will not drop packets, but there
may be longer delays). When I say that it is shared bandwidth I say this
because in fact you are sharing the bandwidth in the Core Network of your
provider with hundreds of other subscribers to the service.
Hope this helps,
EF

Can some clearly explain the difference, I have
checked the Archives and not found a good explanation.
Also if you have some sample configs, that would be a
great help to me.
Thank you.
