I have the following senario from my workbook.
The traffic on the link cannot exceed 64kbps.
The average traffic rate for the PVC is 32kbps.
The BC should be 1/8 the CIR.
The time interval is 125msec.
The service provider is guaranteeing 16kbps of traffic.
The PVC should adapt to receive BECNs.
How would you interpret the question?
Here is what I think...
map-class frame-relay frts
frame-relay cir 64000
frame-relay bc 8000
frame-relay be 6000
frame-relay mincir 16000
frame-relay adaptive-shaping becn
Any comments would be appreciated.
Kind regards
James
