I had the same issue last night and couldn't figure it out why was Fragment set to 320. Now I get it too...............
Thanks to the Brians.....

Thanks a lot Brian, now I get it... fragment size is in Bytes, so it is
in fact the same size of Bc...
Thanks again, your product is really good, and the support you give it
through this list makes it even better.
Best Regards,
Roberto

The "frame-relay tc" command is not used in FRTS from the client
side. See
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1829/products_feature_
guide09186a00800e955b.html for more detail.
As for the calculations for this solution they are as follows:
frame-relay cir 256000
This says to average 256000 bits per second. The question
states to use the lowest interval, which is 10ms. If you are sending
256000 bits every second, this means that you're sending 2560 bits every
10ms:
256000 bits | 1 second | 10 ms
Bc = -------------------------------- = 2560 bits
1 second | 1000 ms |
If you can only send 2560 bits in a single interval this means
that your largest packet fragment should be 2560 bits, or 320 bytes:
2560 bits | 1 byte
Fragment = -------------------- = 320 bytes
| 8 bits
