Frame Relay Question

Hank Scorpio

****** has decided to connect their six branch LANs (Donegal, Dublin, Limerick, Tralee, Waterford) to their head office (Carlow) LAN using Frame Relay, and also to connect the head office to the internet.

Now while i can handle the internet aspect im just curious as to whether all 6 branches go through the frame relay system and 1 main points links back to the carlow branch. Im using a program called Packet Tracer to draw up a network plan. Would be brilliant if someone could suggest a makeshift diagram to guide me along,

thanks.

Net Comms might be a better place for this?

Each site (Including the HQ in Carlow) will connect into the Frame Relay Cloud via a leased line, the remote sites will have a PVC (Virtual link) back to the Carlow HQ.
For a diagram just use a star topology with a line connecting each site to the HQ.
(This assumes that one of the branch sites will not act as a backup site.)
