Frame-Relay Traffic Shaping

[mike-banks]

I have a hub-spoke Wan design. The hub is a T1. The spokes are all smaller than a T1. I was thinking about implementing traffic shaping at the hub because I am seeing some congestion at two of the remote sites and will be installing some application software at the remote sites that is bandwidth and delay sensitive. I am using weighted fair queuing and my CIR on all circuits is 0. I am using 0 CIR because my service provider does not drop packets. What would you suggest for my cir,bc and mincir values? I was thinking about using the following for one of the 512K circuits. Would you agree with this? Should I make the mincir higher since my cir from the service provider is 0 anyway? I

map-class frame-relay 512K

frame-relay adaptive-shaping becn

frame-relay cir 512000

frame-relay bc 64000

frame-relay mincir 256000

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Mike-Banks.

We do not have a similar application but we have a customer that handle voice and data ( internet, corporative email, traffic ) and due problems with the voice we changed the encapsulation from ppp to frame-relay.

The final configuration is:

interface Serial0/0

description ENLACE WAN IP-VPN INTERBANK CD33244

ip address 10.144.7.26 255.255.255.252

no ip redirects

no ip proxy-arp

ip accounting output-packets

encapsulation frame-relay IETF

no ip route-cache

no ip mroute-cache

load-interval 30

frame-relay traffic-shaping

frame-relay interface-dlci 16

class VOIP512K

frame-relay lmi-type ansi

!

map-class frame-relay VOIP512K

no frame-relay adaptive-shaping

frame-relay cir 512000

frame-relay bc 5000

frame-relay be 0

frame-relay mincir 512000

service-policy output IPVPN

frame-relay fragment 640

We as Telefonica Data Peru S.A.A. provides the same configuration at the PE and customer router.
