Interleaving

Tests using the new feature 'Frame Relay Queueing and Fragmentation at the Interface' indicates that interleaves only occurs for traffic from priority queue.

DOC CD says that traffic from other class are interleaved with traffic from class default.

==============================================================================
Frame Relay Queueing and Fragmentation at the Interface

Frames from the priority queue and class queues are subject to fragmentation and interleaving.

============================================================================

Any feedback appreciated.

Tests:

Traffic consist of two steps:

step 1

-1500 bytes packet size generated by SAA <-- goes to class default
-80 bytes packets size generated by SAA <--- goes to normal class

No interleaves occured.

Rack2R2#sh int ser 0/1 | i interle
  Fragmentation type: end-to-end, size 160, PQ interleaves 0

step 2

Added this:

-Telnet packets <--- goes priority queue

Rack2R2#sh int ser 0/1 | i interle
  Fragmentation type: end-to-end, size 160, PQ interleaves 104
