For example, suppose you set the congestion timer to 0.5 second and the
congestion count to 3. In this case, if an interface receives three FECNs or BECNs
within 0.5 second, the node stops sending frames (although it continues to receive
frames for this PVC). If the interface receives no FECNs or BECNs during the
next 0.5 second, the router resumes transmission.
If you enable congestion control and also enable traffic shaping, you can throttle,
which means queue, congested traffic rather than lose it. Throttle is one of the
options for the congestion method.
For instructions on configuring the congestion parameters, see “Controlling
Congestion for PVCs” on page 4-15 and “Controlling Congestion for SVCs” on
page 5-26.
Traffic Shaping
Traffic shaping relieves bottlenecks in topologies with high-speed connections to
the central site, and low-speed connections at remote sites (Figure 1-8
on page
1-20
). Committed information rate enforcement and quality of service are the
major components of Nortel Networks traffic shaping.
Committed Information Rate
The committed information rate (CIR) is the rate at which the network supports
data transfer under normal operations. Its name is descriptive: you have a contract
with your carrier, who has committed to providing a given throughput, here called
the committed information rate. The CIR is measured in bits per second. You
configure this value that the carrier provides per virtual circuit.
