If you enable the congestion control feature, you can specify the number of
FECN/BECN bits the router receives in a given time period before it stops
transmitting frames. While frames are going across the network, the Frame Relay
interface checks received packets for FECN and BECN bits set to 1. If the
interface receives the specified number of bits during the designated time period,
Frame Relay drops all traffic destined for the PVC where there is congestion.
When the interface no longer receives these congestion notifications, the router
resumes transmission.
For example, suppose you set the congestion timer to 0.5 seconds and the
congestion count to 3. In this case, if an interface receives 3 FECNs or BECNs
within 0.5 seconds, the node stops sending frames (although it continues to
receive frames for this PVC). If the interface receives no FECNs or BECNs during
the next 0.5 seconds, the router resumes transmission. Refer to Chapter 4 for
instructions on configuring the congestion parameters.
Configuring Synchronous Lines for Frame Relay
If you enable Frame Relay on a circuit, Site Manager automatically sets the
following synchronous line parameters (Table 2-2):
For more information on these parameters, refer to Configuring Routers or
Configuring Customer Access and Trunks (BNX Software), depending on the type
of installed software.
