RE: traffic shaping numbers - still unclear !!!

Dmitry,

Isn't BE equal to the bits allowed during a single TC interval?

Shouldn't this be set to 32000 when the Cisco CIR is set to 32000 for a
total of 64000 bits per second, equaling the access rate of the port.

In other words, should BE + CIR = Access Rate?

Dave,

About Question Nr 3:
SOLIE:
central site (marlin):
port speed = 1544000 kbps

Remote site 1 (glock):
port speed = 64000 kbps

Remote site 2 (sig):
port speed = 1544000

PVC center -- remote 1 has CIR set by the carrier = 32 kbps
PVC center -- remote 2 has CIR set by the carrier = 512000 kbps

marlin:
map-class frame-relay toGLOCK64Kb
 frame-relay adaptive-shaping becn
 frame-relay cir 1544000 ?????
 frame-relay bc 8000
 frame-relay be 64000 ????????
 frame-relay mincir 32000

map-class frame-relay toSIG1544Kb
 frame-relay adaptive-shaping becn
 frame-relay cir 1544000 ?????
 frame-relay bc 8000
 frame-relay be 64000 ????????
 frame-relay mincir 512000

Now look at networkers 2002

Frame Relay Traffic Shaping Terms :
Tc-Committed rate Measurement Interval (Bc/CIR)
Bc-Committed Burst Size
Be-Excess Burst Size
CIR-Committed Information Rate
MinCIR-Minimum Committed Information Rate

Port Speed: 64000 Bps
CIR : 32000 Bps (Average Rate of Traffic Without Congestion)
Mincir: 16000 Bps (Average Rate of Traffic With Congestion)
Bc: 4000 Bps (Amount of Data Sent Per Interval)
Be: 32000 Bps (Amount of Excess Allowed Once Credit Has Built Up) - bps !!!!
????
Be Careful With Bits to Bytes and Bytes to Bits Conversions

Frame Relay Traffic Shaping Example

interface Serial0
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
encapsulation frame-relay
frame-relay traffic-shaping
frame-relay class ccie
Enable FRTS Enable FRTS

map-class frame-relay ccie
frame-relay adaptive-shaping becn
frame-relay cir 32000
frame-relay mincir 16000
frame-relay bc 4000
frame-relay be 32000 ?????????? should be 4000 Because
Be=(AR-CIR)*Tc=(64000-32000)*0.125
Be number of bits during interval Tc

  Don't have the Solie book, can you phrase the question more concisely?
