791.0. "maximum information rate on frame relay" by COPCLU::JENS () Tue Mar 11 1997 06:08

	
	Hi !


	I have a question regarding regarding routeabout and frame relay. 

	You can have a commitred information rate in rate in bits per second.
	But can you also have a maximum speed rate setup in the routeabout 
	and if how ?

	The customer have their own frame-relay network.


	Best regards and thanks
	in advance for input.

	Jens Petesen, MCS-COMMS

	I'm not sure what you mean by a "maximum speed rate setup". By default the RouteAbout will try to steadily increase the transmission speed on a PVC upto line rate if it does not receive any congestion notification from the network (BECN). But for obvious reasons it will never go higher that line rate. However you must configure the line rate using the SET LINE-SPEED command, so I suppose if you wanted to artificially restricted the maximum transmission speed of ALL PVC's then you could set this rate to be lower than the actual line rate. The RouteAbout does have a second mode of operation called CIR Monitoring. This mode causes the transmission speed on a PVC to always stay within the configured CIR for each PVC. Is that what you are looking for? Neil
