Re: Generic Traffic Shaping (GTS) or Frame Relay traffic

Hi all,

I would make a couple other observations:

For purposes of the exam, I would always use FRTS on F/R interfaces unless
explicitly told not to and always use GTS on non-F/R interfaces.

If voice traffic will be going over any F/R, then you should fragment
traffic which can't be done using GTS.

If FRTS must be applied to only 1 VC on a multipoint (phy or sub-int), only
FRTS can do that, GTS doesn't provide a means to apply TS to an individual
VC - it must be applied at the phy or sub-int level.

HTH
