Layer 2
Seriously, FR is a Layer 2 protocol, as is Ethernet, Token Ring, etc. As
those other protocols support numerous Layer 3 (or higher) protocols, so
will FR. The beauty of the OSI model is that there is separation of the
layers without too much interaction between them. In other words, the Layer
4 datagrams get encapsulated into the Layer 3 packets, which in turn get
encapsulated into Layer 2 frames. FR doesn't care for the most part what is
"inside" the Layer 3 stuff coming down the pipe. ;-}
