<abstract>
<t>This memo describes an encapsulation method for carrying network interconnect traffic over a Frame Relay backbone.  It covers aspects of both Bridging and Routing.  Additionally, it describes a simple fragmentation procedure for carrying large frames over a frame relay network with a smaller MTU.</t>
<t>Systems with the ability to transfer both the encapsulation method described in this document, and others must have a priori knowledge of which virtual circuits will carry which encapsulation method and this encapsulation must only be used over virtual circuits that have been explicitly configured for its use.</t></abstract></front>
