The physical layer is typically EIA/TIA-232, 449 or 530, V.35, or
X.21.
The Frame Relay frame is a sub-set of the HDLC frame type. Therefore it is
delimited with flag fields. The 1-byte flag uses the bit
pattern 01111110. If the Frame CheckSum (FCS) does
not match the address and data fields at the receiving end, the frame
is discarded without notification.</font></p>
