Implementation Notes
2-7
If you define the PVCs in hybrid access mode (Figure 2-4), each PVC acts as a
separate bridge port. This enables the bridge running on the Frame Relay interface
to view the traffic from Site A as arriving on a different port than that of Site B.
When the bridge sends out data, it sends it out from all ports, including the port
that has access to Site B. Therefore, data from Site A can reach Site B.
RFC 1490
RFC 1490 defines the encapsulation method for sending data across a Frame
Relay network. The router implements RFC 1490 for all protocols that it supports
over a Frame Relay network.
Protocol Prioritization
When you configure a router, you can set priorities for the traffic sent across a
synchronous line interface using a process called protocol prioritization. The
ability to prioritize traffic is important for an application that is time-sensitive and
that requires a fast response.
For example, a user at Router A participating in a Telnet session with Router B
requires a more immediate response than does a user at Router A performing a file
transfer with Router B.
When you select Frame Relay on a circuit, the router enables protocol
prioritization automatically. It does this because the DLCMI packets must have a
higher priority than any other packets you are sending across the network.
For more information about protocol prioritization, see Configuring Traffic Filters
and Protocol Prioritization.
Note: Protocol prioritization is not supported by BNX software.
