FRAD is a device that turns data packets into frame relay
frames that can be sent over Frame Relay network and turns the received Frame Relay frames into data packets. Its assembly/disassembly functionality is similar to a PAD or Packet Assembler/Disassembler
, which is used for accessing X.25 networks.
