Frame-Relay Discard Eligible packets

[rperera]

I am seeing an increasing amounts of DE packets on my F/R links. Since I am defining any DE clases on the routers which packets are considered Discard Eligible by DTE?

[joe.freeman]

Without traffic shaping, any traffic exceeding CIR will be marked DE. To see if traffic is actually being discarded, look for FECNs and BECNs on your pvc's with 'show frame-r lmi'.

No I don't see any fecn's or becn's when I do sh frame pvc but I do see incoming de packets:

DLCI = 16, DLCI USAGE = LOCAL, PVC STATUS = ACTIVE, INTERFACE = Serial0.1
