I wonder if MPLS involves the Administrator in regards to configuration or it is taken care by the FR provider

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
1-if I understand FR means there is a a hub and spokes topolgy. Correct?<br />
2- when configuring FR, usually from the HUB , if the configuration &nbsp;is ethernet, it defaults to non-broadcast. Correct? in this case can we configure sub-interfaces for a physical ethernet interface? or sub-interfaces apply only to serial interfaces?<br />
3- &nbsp;when configuring IP OSPF network on interface,<br />
as I mentionned on point 1.<br />
-if it's &nbsp;serial int it will default to NBMA<br />
-if it's ethernet it will default to Broadcast<br />
but if we select point to multipoint, it will also give us extra option to make it NBMA or Broadcast.<br />
<br />
any one to clear this up?<br />
<br />
4 I also want to know which one is commonly used nowadays FR or MPLS? and the reason?<br />
<br />
<br />
thanks

frame relay types and MPLs

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
