Data Compression over Frame Relay

You can conﬁgure the Bay Networks proprietary data compression protocol,

WCP, over wide area networks running Frame Relay.

Enabling compression improves bandwidth efﬁciency by eliminating redundant

strings in data streams. This, in turn, improves network response times and yields

line-cost savings.

For a complete discussion of data compression, see Conﬁguring Data

Compression Services.

Source Routing

Source routing is the method by which a bridge sends data across two networks.

The router supports source routing over Frame Relay networks, using RFC 1490

standard Frame Relay data encapsulation or Bay Networks proprietary Frame

Relay data encapsulation.

If you enable source routing in a fully meshed environment, be sure to conﬁgure

PVCs in group access mode. If you enable source routing in a non-fully meshed

environment, the type of access mode you choose depends on your network. To

determine which access mode is best for source routing, refer to “Access Modes

for Frame Relay.”

To conﬁgure source routing, refer to Conﬁguring Bridging Services.
