The type of link management used has no bearing on the format of the
Q.922 UI frame.
Trace Example
The following is an example of a frame relay port trace of Modulo 8 X.25 logical port
link activation (X.25 encapsulated in frame relay per RFC1490):

In RFC1490 encapsulation, theLAPBb frame follows the T1.618 header, Q.922
control byte, Q.933 NLPID and the level 2 and 3 protocol IDs (2 bytes each). SNA,
APPN, X.25, IP, IPX traffic are identified on the DLCI based on their NLPIDs, as well
as (if applicable) level 2 and 3 headers (e.g., X.25: 0x03 Q.922 control, 0x08 Q.933
NLPID, T1.617 L2 LAPB PID 0x51 81, T1.617 L3 PID 0x67 80, LAPB frame. For
instance,
013F
is a LAPB SABM frame.)

Both 802.3 TB (Transparent Bridge) frames and 802.5 SRB (Source Route Bridge)
frames use the same NLPID and OUI over frame relay. The difference between the
two is the PIDs. All FRX bridged protocols (with the exception of 802.5 SRB) are
bridged as 802.3 TB frames (i.e. PID of 0007). Also note that 802.5 SRB frames over
frame relay in RFC1490 format are known in IBM terminology as BAN Type 1
