Frame Relay: Telecommunications technology which breaks data stream into small data packets termed as frames, to give transmission speeds of 64 kilo bits per thousand (Kbps) to 2.4 giga bits per second (Gbps) at fairly lower costs. The Frame-relay equipment allocates a reference number, correction information and error detection, and an address (which recognizes the device the data is being sent to) to each and every frame. As such frames travel via the communications network (that is, local or world-wide) each and every packet switched exchange reads their addresses and routes them suitably until they arrive at their destination device (that is, phone, fax, computer, and so on) where they are reassembled in appropriate (original) order.
