AW: FRTS conversion

Hi Ahsan,

Thanks for that and for the interesting links, I'll go through them. It's my
fault I was to unclear with the AR. The task which I was referring to in my
question, asked about full line speed T1, which is 1.544Mbps but, as I got
from another discussion on this list, one should use 1.536Mbps (if I got
that right).

Regarding the Bc value which the router will "automatically calculate", how
to do that with CB shaping? I mean, as far as I can see that, it is not
possible to configure Be if you did not configure Bc before, isn't it?

regards

Roger

Hello Guys,

when you put in a Bc value, you are actually affecting the Tc (there is no
direct way of setting the Tc). So in Roger's config, "frame-relay bc"
command is not required because it will be automatically calculated (from
default Tc of 125 ms) by IOS:
 
Bc = CIR x Tc
= 512000 kbps x 125 ms
= (512000 x 125) / 1000
= 64000

Be will be = (AR - CIR) x Tc
= (1500000 - 512000) x 125 ms
= 123500
 
Note that 1.5 Mbps is 1500000 bps and not 1536000.
 
Check out this very good post by Brian McGahan on FRTS:

Kind regards,

By default TC = 125 ms and can be 10 ms mininum, by lowering this value ,
one can have greater number of TCs with lower BC value. I think when the
question does not shed light over TC, we sould not worry about this default
value.

Plz correct me if I am wrong

Thanks and regards,
