The IESG has approved the Internet Draft "Multiprotocol Interconnect over Frame Relay" <draft-ietf-iplpdn-framerelay-05.txt> as a Draft Standard. This document is the product of the IP over Large Public Data Networks Working Group. This work is current assigned to the Internet Area. The IESG contact persons are Stev Knowles and David Piscitello. Technical Summary This document describes an encapsulation method for carrying network interconnect traffic over a Frame Relay backbone. It covers aspects of both Bridging and Routing. Systems with the ability to transfer both this encapsulation method, and others must have a prior knowledge of which virtual circuits will carry which encapsulation method and this encapsulation must only be used over virtual circuits that have been explicitly configured for its use. Working Group Summary This document is a product of the IP over Large Public Data Networks (IPLPDN) Working Group. The changes and recommendations are approved by the working group, and correct errors discovered during implementation and field experience with Proposed RFC 1294. Protocol Quality RFC 1294 encapsulation has been implemented by over 2 dozen vendors. It is the basis for both the Frame Relay Forum's "Multiprotocol Encapsulation Implementation Agreement" and encapsulation conventions stated in the ANSI T1.617 Standard. Presently, there is limited implementation experience with the optional XID processing (only needed by vendors that do direct SNA encapsulation over Frame Relay and want to run complete Q.922. There appears to be a minimum number of vendors who claim to have implemented the fragmentation and reassembly protocol required over Frame Relay networks that cannot accommodate the 576 octet MSS required by IP from the underlying network interface.
