well, where to begin. UUNet obviously *does* have a routed IP network...that's sort of what being an NSP is about. they own their own frame relay infrastructure (big cascade switches, for instance) over which they have complete control. they are acting as a frame relay *provider* rather than a frame relay *customer* as you are. as for precise technical reasons about why certain decisions were made by UUNet, i defer to one of their engineers.

I've noticed that several of the larger networks use frame-relay. Why? Our experience with frame-relay with the local telco has had mixed results. What technical advantages does a frame-relay network have over an IP routed network? Thanks! Joe
