   Cisco supports two Frame Relay encapsulation types: the Cisco encapsulation and the IETF Frame Relay encapsulation, which is in conformance with RFC 1490 and RFC 2427. The former is often used to connect two Cisco routers while the latter is used to connect a Cisco router to a non-Cisco router.

   Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) form of Frame Relay encapsulation if your router or access server is connected to another vendor’s equipment across a Frame Relay network. IETF encapsulation is supported either at the interface level or on a per-VC basis.
