This is partly because not all FR providers provide multipoint service, because it requires a degree of configuration and management involvement beyond the standard PVC service model. It is also because point-to-point requires far more involvement with the FR provider than most network engineers are comfortable with (this is even more so when the endpoints involved are international). Figure 9.6 illustrates a FR multipoint group implementation based on the topology used in the previous point-to-point example. The illustration is followed by the interface configurations from the routers batman and robin.
