■
The Default Be (Be also referred to as Excess Burst Size)
represents the maximum amount of data that your Frame
Relay service provider will attempt to deliver to a given PVC
(Permanent Virtual Circuit) or DLCI (Data Link Connection
Identifier). This setting defaults to 0, but you may change the
capacity rate if this setting needs to be modified.
See Appendix B, “Understanding Frame Relay” in the
Getting
Started Guide for information on the these parameters.
Note: Some Frame Relay service providers allow for
over-subscription of the DLCIs, which occurs when the total
number of CIRs for all PVCs exceeds the line rate setup.

Select Congestion Management Enabled and toggle to Yes or No
depending on whether you use this selection. Press Return.
If Congestion Management is enabled, this option causes the
Netopia Router to use in-bound FECNs (Forward Explicit
Congestion Notification). This feature is designed to notify you
that congestion avoidance procedures should be initiated where
applicable for traffic in the same direction as the received frame.
It indicates that the frame in question, has encountered
congested resources.
Note: The Congestion Management Enabled field will only appear
if Standard or Buffered is selected as the option from the Tx
Injection Management field.
4.
Select Maximum Frame Size and press Return. The default is
automatically set to a value suitable for encapsulating a full
ethernet packet’s transmission load, however you may change
the Maximum Frame Size to suit your networks transmission load.
Press Return.

Press the Escape key to return to the WAN Setup screen. If you need
to configure your DLCIs, go to the section below. Otherwise, go to
