Frame relay can be really cool when your short distances. You see, if all
sites are in fact within 15mi of eachother, then they are no doubt
connecting to the same Frame Relay switch. That being said, the only
thing between the sites is the backplane of the switch.
You could get 0 CIR and still get wire speed between the sites. FR
"congestion" really is an issue mainly between FR switches, not localized
to a single switch (although on a switch that isn't non-blocking I suppose
you could get a little delay, but nothing like inter-switch traffic).
