Internet/Extranet Access

While Frame Relay (FR) remains the most economical service to connect multiple corporate locations over PVCs (Private Virtual Connections) at burst and fixed data rates, high speed DSL is becoming the technology of choice for last mile access to FR switches. The Model 3086 connects to a 10/100Base-T hub or switch at the customer’s LAN, while at the network side it connects to Patton’s 3096RC via a 2-wire DSL Link. Data from the 3086 links is concentrated by the 3096RC and sent over the WAN via DS1, DS3, or STS links.

At the Data Link Layer, The Model 3086 encapsulates IP data from the customer LAN into FR packets and transmits over the DSL link to a Service Provider location. Inside the provider’s network, VCs transport data across the WAN to their final destination. Additionally, the Model 3086 supports PPP encapsulation, FR to ATM network internetworking, or FR to ATM Service internetworking.
