RE: Frame Relay CBWFQ config

Juan,

        When you are configuring FRTS through the MQC, the command
"frame-relay traffic-shaping" is not enabled on the interface. Instead,
the available bandwidth is determined by what the shape adaptive command
says like in the following example:

policy-map X
  class class-default
   shape average 64000 4000
   shape adaptive 48000
!
map-class frame-relay FRTS
 service-policy output X
!
interface Serial0/0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 frame-relay class FRTS

Rack2R4#show policy-map interface serial0/0
 Serial0/0: DLCI 401 -

  Service-policy output: X

    Class-map: class-default (match-any)
      0 packets, 0 bytes
      5 minute offered rate 0 bps, drop rate 0 bps
      Match: any
      Traffic Shaping
           Target/Average Byte Sustain Excess Interval
Increment
             Rate Limit bits/int bits/int (ms) (bytes)

            64000/64000 1000 4000 4000 62 500

        Adapt Queue Packets Bytes Packets Bytes Shaping
        Active Depth Delayed Delayed Active
        BECN 0 0 0 0 0 no

Rack2R4#show traffic-shape queue serial0/0
Traffic queued in shaping queue on Serial0/0
 Traffic shape class: class-default
  Queueing strategy: weighted fair
  Queueing Stats: 0/1000/64/0 (size/max total/threshold/drops)
     Conversations 0/0/16 (active/max active/max total)
     Reserved Conversations 0/0 (allocated/max allocated)
     Available Bandwidth 48 kilobits/sec

The "available bandwidth 48" shows that this value is bounded by the
shape adaptive command. This is analogous to the "frame-relay mincir"
value with legacy FRTS.
