Re: FRTS Fragmentation on a subinterface?

Hi Tarun,
the link is very interesting but I find a contraddiction in it:
- on pag 5-5 it says: 'Fragment_Size = (Max_Allowed_Jitter *
Link_Speed_in_kbps) / 8'
- 'the rate of the PVC CIR is the clocking rate to reference when estimating
fragmentation requirements in a frame-relay environment'

So which one is the rate to use to calculate the fragment size:
link-speed=port access-rate or PVC cir?

Thanks,
Bit.
