Cost efficient
No traffic between LAN
No retransmission
Provides PVC
Frame Relay and IP:-

.
Their IP addresses start with the
same network and subnet
numbers.
Any system can communicate
directly with any other system in
the subnet.
Data will not flow through an
intermediate router.
.
very low delay
reduce waiting time
costs per connections is cheaper
performance of data switching
Frame size is small
Manage large data

Does not support voice
Limited to the congestion control
process & QOS
No error control and flow
