No, the example is not incorrect... it's just more detailed a question than
the original one was! :)
 
If you have multiple PVCs on a single physical interface, and you are trying
to find ways to balance against them, it's possible that any ONE PVC may
cause local congestion.
 
If you want to find ways to throttle back some pvc's, while others enjoy
unhindered access then this gives you a way of doing it.
 
MQC on your physical link can give you the ability to do this as well! :)
 
So the example on the docs is correct, but if you had only one pvc, it would
be silly (IMHO) to deploy something like that. Less throughput, same input
rate = more congestion than before!
 
Perspective...

Hi Scott,
 
What you said does make sense.
 
However, if there're more than one PVCs, then in case of interface
congestion (introduced by traffic going to one particular PVC), we may want
to protect traffic going to other PVCs and by limiting less important
traffic going to one particular PVC. Does this make sense as well?
 
Can you please comment on the below example from the Command Reference which
is directly relevant to the question being asked. Did you mean that the
below information is wrong?

Frame Relay Adaptive Traffic Shaping for Interface Congestion Example

In the following example, the rate of traffic destined for PVC 200 will be
reduced to the minCIR if the number of packets in the interface queue
exceeds 10. When the number of packets in the interface queue drops below
10, then the traffic rate will immediately return to the CIR.

interface serial0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 frame-relay traffic-shaping
 frame-relay interface-dlci 200
 class adjust_vc_class_rate
!
map-class frame-relay adjust_vc_class_rate
 frame-relay cir 64000
 frame-relay mincir 32000
 frame-relay adaptive-shaping interface-congestion 10

"congestion" is a multi-faceted idea.

Congestion in an outbound direction (e.g. your side) will not lead to

mincir. That would be silly. If you are having congestion, what would you

expect if you further reduced your transmission capabilities! :)

Congestion from the frame cloud though is different. A FECN/BECN can signal

there is congestion occurring, in which case it would make perfect sense to

limit the outbound transmssion rate.

Thanks for the reply.

I have read some where that adaptive-shaping is used in conjuction with

mincir. Up to my understanding if there is congestion shaping will drop to

mincir .. is that right? but the interface-congestion is new to me can u

please elaborate a bit on that.

Thanks
