S-FRAP

Overview

The Sync S-FRAP is a WAN monitoring probe designed for wide scale deployment in frame relay networks. Part of the Sync family of FRAP devices, the S-FRAP is placed between a router WAN port and any vendor’s DSU/CSU. The S-FRAP collects and stores performance and troubleshooting information about the frame relay network and data about the utilization of application protocols.

The S-FRAP stores tabular performance data for up to 100 Data Link Connection Identifiers (DLCIs). It provides information on the utilization, availability and round trip delay per PVC. The S-FRAP also provides Committed Information Rate (CIR) and many other reports. Network data can be stored for up to four days to aid in troubleshooting and to minimize polling. All reports can be accessed via SNMP or viewed in table form locally or via Telnet.

A wide range of interfaces and agency approvals enables the S-FRAP to be used in both North American and international applications.

Applications:

The S-FRAP is placed between the router WAN port and an existing DSU/CSU or other line terminating device. It collects information about the performance of the frame relay network and application protocols and, when polled, transmits the information to the central site management system. The S-FRAP provides one male and one female DTE interface for easy insertion into the network.

About Circuit Management:

The Circuit Management concept was first introduced by Sync Research. It consists of tools that allow end users and service providers to maximize the benefits that they receive from implementing new and emerging network access technologies, such as frame relay. The major goals of circuit management include:
