Configuring Generic Traffic Shaping

Hi All,

I need to configure GTS on a frame relay interface with target bit rate of
128Kbps & such that FECNs are reflected as BECNs.

I configured as follows:

!
int s 0/0/0
 traffic-shape rate 128000
 traffic-shape fecn-adapt
!

R2#sh run int s 0/0/0
!
interface Serial0/0/0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 traffic-shape rate 128000 7936 7936 1000
 traffic-shape fecn-adapt

R2#sh traffic-sh

Interface Se0/0/0
       Access Target Byte Sustain Excess Interval Increment Adapt
VC List Rate Limit bits/int bits/int (ms) (bytes)
Active
- 128000 1984 7936 7936 62 992 BECN

The router adds the other values in the running-config. Can anyone explain
how the router determines the values for sustain bits and excess bits? It
appears to me they are based on the formula CIR=Bc/Tc. But I'm only
providing the CIR value. How are the other values being calculated?

From Command Ref on DocCD,

An interval is calculated as follows:
* If the burst-size is not equal to zero, the interval is the burst-size
divided by the bit-rate.
* If the burst-size is zero, the interval is the excess-burst-size divided
by the bit-rate.

In my case, both my burst-size and excess-burst-size are unspecified.

Any comments are most welcome.

Thank you.

Confused,
Lim TS
