Pay as you go Carrier boosts frame relay monitoring service.
All prices are in addition to frame relay port and circuit charges.
Circuit View uses hardware and software from Visual Networks, a Rockville, Md., provider of WAN performance- measurement tools. By dialing in to the server over the frame relay net, corporate network administrators can check MCI network performance against their service-level agreements. They can also examine whether their networks are over- or underutilized, view the comparative performance of traffic according to Layer 3 protocols and check historical information on their frame relay nets. But that offer was limited to managed frame relay customers and required upfront payment for the network devices. That price is added to the user's frame relay port and permanent virtual circuit charges.
