LMI is a signaling standard used bybetween routers and frame relay switches. Communication takes place between a router and the first frame relay switch it's connected to. Information about keepalives, global addressing, multicasting and the status of virtual circuits is commonly exchanged using LMI.

Software enhancements to [[Frame Relay]] specifications, providing the ability to integrate with a keep alive mechanism (verifying that [[DLCI]]'s work), [[multicast]] mechanism (gives the network server its DLCI), Multicast DLCI, global addressing, and status mechanism. [[SMI]] data rids within the customer data pirt of the frame rela frame. More advanced LMI applications are called Consolidated Link Layer Management [[(CLLM)]] - which adds the ability to report congestion control for individual DLCI's
