No. Frame Relay is not operating at Layer 3. Frame Relay is strictly a Layer 2 protocol suite, whereas X.25 provides services at Layer 3 (the network layer) as well. This enables Frame Relay to offer higher performance and greater transmission efficiency.

Which WAN technology operates at Layer 3 of the OSI model?
Which? Where are the Options?WAN Technologies operate & involve Layer1, Layer2 & Layer3 of OSI Model. Example of WAN Technology Protocols are Frame Relay, ATM & X.25 protocols.
What is the layer that frame relay in?
Layer 2 - Data Link layer.
Is DSL a WAN data link encapsulation?
Frame relay and PPP is used with WAN encapsulation. Frame Relay most closely compares to the OSI data link layer (Layer 2). If you remember that the word "frame" describes the data link layer protocol data unit (PDU), it will be easy to remember that Frame Relay relates to OSI Layer 2. Like other data-link protocols, Frame Relay can be used to deliver packets (Layer 3 PDUs) between routers.
What osi layer is frame-relay mapped to?
Data Link
Frame Relay is an example of a protocol which operates at which OSI madel layer?
- data Link
What can X25 do the Frame Relay cannot do?
There are various differences between X.25 and Frame Relay. The most significant are: 1. Call Control X.25 connection establishment and release (call control) use in-band signaling within the same virtual channel used for user data transmission causing additional overhead. Frame Relay call control uses separate virtual channels identified by reserved DLCI using the LMI (Local Management Interface) protocol. 2. Routing vs. Switching X.25 performs packet switching on OSI layer 3 (network layer); Frame Relay performs packet switching on OSI layer 2 (data-link). Frame Relay does not use any layer 3 protocol. 3. Flow Control Frame Relay (FR) doesn't perform flow control between frame handlers (FR routers). X.25 routers have to acknowledge each frame; in case of frame errors frames have to be retransmitted and acknowledged. Frame Relay relies on flow control performed by higher layer protocols.Source: http://www.synapse.de/ban/HTML/P_LAYER2/Eng/P_lay264.html

Which two data link layer protocols are used in packet-switched WAN networks?
Atm frame relay
What are two data link layer protocols are used in packet-switched WAN networks?
atm and frame-relay
Which two items allow the router to map data link layer addresses to network layer addresses in a Frame Relay network?
LMI protocol, Invers ARP
What is pick up of a relay?
The "pick up" of a relay is a setting at which the relay will begin to operate. Such as an overcurrent relay - if the pickup is set to 5A, when 5A is flowing through the relay, the relay will operate.
Which technology is used to dynamically map next hop network layer addresses to virtual circuits in a Frame Relay network?
inverse ARP
