Digital Power Line Carrier packet networks: Transition form Frame Relay to IP technology

This article is devoted to the research of transition form Frame Relay to IP technology in packet convergent Digital Power Line Carrier networks. Application of Frame Relay Access Devices and practical experience of Frame Relay dPLC networks construction is observed. The research of possible ways of technological transition was done and the most efficient way of transition was suggested. Also practical example of convergent dPLC IP network construction with application of suggested technical solution is presented.
