Configuring the Data Link Layer Protocol for E1, T1, and Serial Interfaces
To connect the Atlanta office to the London office, the company chose Frame
Relay, which allows them to cross country borders at a more affordable cost
than dedicated T1-and E1-carrier lines.
The company uses ADSL for its Internet connection at the Atlanta office. (For
information about ADSL, see Chapter 7: ADSL WAN Connections.)
