Remmert -
With the huge number of messages posted to this group, I imagine we are
the only two that will ever know about this reply! ;-)
I'm writing because I've finished my research and want to report that
the situation is very different from what you wrote. I've experimented
in the lab with IP RIP over frame, and it works fine. Here is a
reference for you:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/idg4/nd2009.htm
In it you will find:
"Routers treat Frame Relay as a broadcast media, which means that each
time the router sends a multicast frame (such as a routing update,
spanning tree update, or SAP update), the router must replicate the
frame to each DLCI for the Frame Relay interface. Frame replication
results in substantial overhead for the router and for the physical
interface."
This is a pretty satisfactory answer to my question ....
