 | | Frame Relay, which is a relatively new wide area networking method, is gaining in popularity. |
 | | Frame Relay was developed to solve communication problems that other protocols could not: the increased need for higher speeds, an increased need for large bandwidth efficiency, particularly for clumping ("bursty" traffic), an increase in intelligent network devices that lower protocol processing, and the need to connect LANs and WANs. |
 | | Instead of traffic-snarling data packets clogging up the circuitry, smaller, fragmented data frames are interleaved with delay-sensitive traffic, reducing jitter and delay and clearing the path for voice calls. |
