308624-14.10 Rev 01
Table 1-9 summarizes the changes you may need to make to the MTU value for
your frame relay configuration. In addition to these adjustments, other router
subsystems using frame relay, such as IP or IPX, may also affect the MTU value.
Those adjustments are based on the particular subsystem configuration.
Based on the values in Table 1-9
, if you configure IP over frame relay on a
synchronous line, the largest IP datagram that the router transmits is 1539. This
number is determined by taking the default MTU value (1600) and subtracting the
overhead packet sizes for WCP (3), WEP (56), and the CRC (2). To ensure that the
router sends an IP datagram size of 1600 bytes, you must set the MTU value to
1661. For more information about the MTU parameter, see Configuring WAN Line
Services.
Table 1-9. MTU Adjustments for Frame Relay Connections
Reason for the
Adjustment
Size of
Overhead
Packets (bytes)
Lines for which the
Adjustment Applies Notes
Data compression
(WCP) overhead
3 Synchronous, MCT1,
MCE1, ISDN BRI
The router always subtracts the WCP
header regardless of whether WCP is
enabled. Consequently, the amount of data
that the router sends across the frame relay
line will be less than you configured for the
MTU value.
Data encryption
(WEP) overhead
56 Synchronous, MCT1,
MCE1, ISDN BRI
The router always subtracts the WEP
header regardless of whether WCP is
enabled. Consequently, the amount of data
that the router sends across the frame relay
line will be less than you configured for the
MTU value.
Cyclic redundancy
check (CRC)
2 or 4 Synchronous, MCT1,
MCE1, ISDN BRI
The router always subtracts the CRC size.
Consequently, the amount of data that the
router sends across the frame relay line will
be less than you configured for the MTU
value. The default CRC value is 2.
