1867.0. "DECserver IP routing over Frame Relay." by CGOS01::DMARLOWE (Have you been HUBbed lately?) Wed Jan 11 1995 01:17

   This site config replicated 5 times for remote sites:

   ----------
   | DS 90M |
   ----------
    |||||||\           
    ||||||| \  SLIP @56K  ---------
    VT xxx|  -------------| FRAD  |-------> Frame relay
    Telnet|               ---------
          |
          PC running
           SLIP

    I think this part will be fine.  Using a DECserver as a Telnet terminal
    server, Telnet printer, PC router and SLIP router.  FRAD's can handle SLIP
    and eventhough frame relay low end is usually 56K, actual bandwidth
    requirements will be around 9.6-19.2K.


    The central site is where I'm having problems.  I would like a single Frame
    Relay line and single line into the LAN.  I do not want to have to break
    out the 5 sites into 5 lines at the central location.  The following is
    what I'd like if possible:
                                            ---------------
                              ---------     |SLIP terminal|
    Frame Relay  ------------>| FRAD  |-----|server or    |
                  128K+       ---------     |SLIP router  |
                                            ---------------
                                                   |
                                                   |
                                      -------------------             
                                             |
                                            OSF
                                           Alpha

    I do not know enough about TCP addressing in the terminal server to know if
    I can have 5 sites come into a single higher speed port.  Frame Relay will
    mux the 5 sites into one line at the central site but I'm not sure how make
    our equipment handle this.
