Fully Meshed Frame Relay Network
A single IP network number (or subnet) is assigned to an entire Frame Relay network. Most
data links (such as Ethernet) assume transitivity on a logical network; that is, if node A can
talk to node B, and node B can talk to node C, then node A should be able to talk to node C.
This is not true on Frame Relay networks unless they are fully meshed. Figure 8-5 shows an
example of a fully meshed frame relay network with full connectivity. All routers have a link
to each other.
