Whats the difference between a point-to-point T1 connection to the Internet and a Frame Relay T1 connection?
Both of these T1 connections transfer data to the telephone company at a rate of 1.54 Mbps. The difference between the two connections is in how data is routed from there to the Internet network. With a point-to-point T1 connection, the path to the next hub to get to the Internet network is basically fixed, like on a single two-lane highway. A Frame Relay T1 connection routes data to the next hub through a network of connections, like on a network of highways, with several different ways to get to the same place.
