Re: FR/IP and the need for MLP/LFI

okay , it is good to know, for 1) I think you do need MLPPP LFI or
frame-relay fragmentation for 512K link, as for 1500 byte pkt the
serialization delay will be around 200ms, which is too much. If this is the
case then tuning tx-ring will not help at all. A sniffer trace can confirm
whether the issue is caused by no fragmentation.

      Hope it helps,
