This memo specifies guidelines for implementors and users of the Open
Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol to bring about
improvements in how the protocol runs over frame relay networks.  We
show how to configure frame relay interfaces in a way that obviates
the "full-mesh" connectivity required by current OSPF implementations.
This allows for simpler, more economic network designs.  These
guidelines do not require any protocol changes; they only provide
recommendations for how OSPF should be implemented and configured to
use frame relay networks efficiently.  This RFC is the product of the
Open Shortest Path First IGP Working Group of the IETF.

This memo provides information for the Internet community.  This memo
