The following was reported by Andy Malis
Eleven companies responded to the call for RFC 1293 and 1490
implementation experience.
Of the eleven, three asked that their information not be made public,
and their responses have been summarized for informational purposes
only. I will first list the RFC 1293 responses, and then the RFC 1490
responses. Thanks to all those that sent in responses.
Companies are listed in alphabetical order.
RFC 1490: Note that almost no companies implemented fragmentation,
which is one of the reasons that it is being removed from the next
revision. Another reason is that the Frame Relay Forum has a new (and
greatly improved) separate fragmentation specification, FRF.12.
Ascend
Missing features: XID negotiation, fragmentation
Interworked with: Cisco, Bay, 3Com
Assured Access
Missing features: none
Interworked with: Cisco
Bay Networks
Missing features: fragmentation
Interworked with: Cisco, 3Com
Cabletron Systems Inc
Missing features: XID is not complete
Interworked with: Cisco, Motorola, AT&T, Newbridge Networks
Cisco
Missing features: fragmentation
Interworked with: "quite a few"
Note: Cisco reported past interoperability problems for non-IP
protocols such as bridging, Appletalk, and IPX over Frame Relay with
some other vendors. However, there are no currently open trouble
reports on this, and the correspondent believes the problems have been
resolved.
Motorola
Missing features: fragmentation, I-frames
Interworked with: Cisco, Bay, 3Com, IBM
Sync Research
Missing features: fragmentation
Interworked with: Sync, Cisco, IBM, 3Com, Bay, Xyplex, "and others"
Xylan
Missing features: 802.6 SMDS, source route bridging
Interworked with: IBM (2210), Cisco (2500, 7000 series and other
routers), Bay (Access Node and other routers), NSC (Borderguard), ACC
(Nile)
Of the other three respondents, two of the implementations were missing
fragmentation, two were missing bridging, and the third incompletely
implemented it, and one was missing I-frames. All three reported
interoperating with Cisco, and two reported Bay, and one reported
Newbridge and ACC as well.
