Hi,

You certainly can specify fragment size per PVC and you can run different
fragment sizes between the two as it is a point-to-point process and
transparent to the rest of the network.

All you need is separate map classes for each PVC as shown below. The
frame-relay fragment xxxx command is used.

Note - the vofr data 4 call-control 5 command enables FRF.11 fragmentation.
If you omit this command, FRF.12 fragmentation is used. FRF.11 is better as
voice is separated into CIDs within the PVC (confusing, but basically a form
of QoS for frame).

Your spoke routers MUST use the same FRF.11/12 fragmentation, otherwise you
won't even get any connectivity (don't do this remotely across the link!!!)

e.g.

R1 (Hub ROuter)
int s0
  encaps frame
  frame-relay traffic-shaping

int s0.1 point
  ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
  frame-relay interface-dlci 100
     vofr data 4 call-control 5
     class R2

int s0.2 point
  ip address 10.2.1.1 255.255.255.0
  frame-relay interface-dlci 100
     vofr data 4 call-control 5
     class R3

map-class frame R2
  frame-relay cir xxxx
  ....
  ....
  frame-relay fragment xxxx

map-class frame R3
  frame-relay cir xxxx
  ....
  ....
  frame-relay fragment xxxx

R2 (Spoke Router)
int s0
  encaps frame
  frame-relay traffic-shaping
  ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
  frame-relay interface-dlci 100
     vofr data 4 call-control 5
     class R1

map-class frame R1
  frame-relay cir xxxx
  ....
  ....
  frame-relay fragment xxxx

Regards,
Justin

Subject: frame relay fragmentation

In a hub and spoke design connected by frame relay, each spoke with a vofr
cisco and data link, with link speed from 64k to 256k. We will have some
fragmentation values to each spoke site/ each dlci, but if the hub site is a
tandem switch, each spoke can call any other spoke.
1. Can I configure diferent fragment sizes for each spoke/ each dlci?
2. Can I make a call betweem spokes with diferent fragment sizes or need I
to configure the same size in all the spokes (which one, the smallest or the
biggest)?
