But understanding why its cheap is the key to understanding its power. Before you can understand why its inexpensive, you have to know something about how it works.
How Does it Work?
Frame relay is a networking protocol, which means that unlike a point-to-point private line, there's a network switch in-between your location and to whoever you're connecting. Actually, you get a private line to a node on the frame relay network, and the remote location gets a private line to a near-by frame relay node. When you send traffic over your line, the network gets it to the remote location by routing it through the frame relay network. Then the data is passed to the remote location's line and, viola, the data has reached its destination.
What's a DLCI?
A DLCI is a channel number (the technical term is "data link connection identifier") which is attached to data frames to tell the network how to route the data. Frame relay is "statistically multiplexed", which means that only one frame can be transmitted at a time but many logical connections can co-exist on a single physical line. The DLCI allows the data to be logically tied to one of the connections so that once it gets to the network it knows where to send it.
What is LMI?
LMI is one of those really bad terms that means "Line Management Interface". Its a bad term for 2 reasons, one because its more of a protocol than an interface, and the second is that one of the two most widely used versions of LMI is referred to as LMI. More about this later. Basically, LMI is a keep-alive mechanism that periodically gives the end user some status information about his connections. Every 10 seconds or so, the end user polls the network, either requesting a dumb sequenced response or channel status information. The network should respond with the requested information; if it doesn't then the user will consider the connection to be "down" (actually, it takes more than one failure to bring the line down as its possible that a frame was lost due to noise).

I guess this is a typo. It should be 'voilà'. Voilà is a French word but used in English as an interjection to indicate something is successfully accomplished.

I notice that 'viola' is Microsoft's first spellcheck suggestion for 'voilà'.
Wonder if someone was unwittingly autocorrected.

I rather pictured chamber music as a sort of gloria as the data reached its destination.

Ah yes, I see it now, Mister M:
