You can use the Technician Interface to increase the total number of buffers for the
interface. You can also redistribute buffers among the VCs and the priority queues.
The parameters that you customize at the interface level are:
• wfFrDlcmiShapingHiQueueLimit
• wfFrDlcmiShapingNormalQueueLimit
• wfFrDlcmiShapingLoQueueLimit
The parameters you can customize at the VC level are:
• wfFrCircuitShapedHiQueueLimit.
• wfFrCircuitShapedNormalQueueLimit
• wfFrCircuitShapedLoQueueLimit
For information on using the Technician Interface, see Using Technician Interface
Software.
Congestion Counters and Timers
The router determines congestion based on a specified number of FECN and
BECN bits received during a set time period (for more information, see
“Congestion Control
” on page 1-22). When congestion occurs on a traffic-shaped
VC, the router either drops traffic, throttles it, or throttles and then drops traffic,
depending on the configured congestion method.
The FECN and BECN notifications are part of the header in a frame relay data
packet. In a big pipe/little pipe topology, the central site router A typically sends
much more data than it receives (Figure 1-11)
. This means that the remote site
routers B, C, and D that receive a lot of traffic may be getting large numbers of
FECNs, while the central site router is getting relatively few data packets, and
therefore few BECNs, and is unaware that congestion is occurring.
