Brian:

Reading from the presentation, you mentioned that "Theoretically" the DE
bit is set to 1 above MinCIR.
Reading from Cisco, the DE bit is set above CIR.

Can you shed some light please.
Thanks
Ram

Brian,
FRTS presentation is excellent. Specially the examples are very helpful.

> Let me first say that if this was a real world FRTS scenario you would
have problems with serialization delay causing latency. Even if you
fragment the voice DLCI both DCLIs share the same physical interface so the
data DLCI could cause latency when large packets are sent on it.

link speed. Configure Frame Relay such that there is no latency and
packets are not dropped. DLCI 102 has 50% BW of port speed. Configure
CIR, Bc and Be accordingly by maintaining Tc's default value and interface
queueing default mechanism. Port speed Between r1 and r2 is 256k."

> The values given in the solution do not look correct. The scenario said
to use the default Tc but they changed the Tc value on the DLCI used for
voice. We know that voice should have the smallest Tc value possible (10ms)
but it said use the default. The default Tc value is 1/8 of a second for
speeds below 640kbps.

> The scenario said to give the data DLCI 50% of the port's bandwidth but a
DCLI with 64000 CIR and 8000 Be is not correct if you are trying to give
the DLCI 128kbps. The values will allow the DLCI to burst up to 128kbps but
only if credits are built up. To truly give the DLCI 50% of the ports
bandwidth you would need to set the CIR to 128000 with no Be. Also not
trying to sound negative but setting min-CIR to equal CIR when adaptive
shaping is not turned on tells me whoever came up with the solution doesn't
really understand FRTS.

enabled on an interface with Frame-Relay encapsulation the default queuing
method changes from fair-queue to FIFO.

> Are those your solutions to the scenario? The solutions are allowing the
router to send data at 64kbps for DLCI 101 and 256kbps for DLCI 102. The
router will overwhelm the interface since the AR (aka port speed) is
256kbps. Also configuring min-CIR does not do anything if adaptive shaping
is not enabled.
