the frame relay network, the largest CIR available for purchase would be
56k.Although datacould burst from siteAto theframe relaynetwork at the
full T1 speed of 1.536 Mbps, it would queue up in the frame relay network
until it could be sent across the56-kbps DDS circuit. This queue could cause
network congestion.
Managing Network Congestion
If congestion becomes a problem within the network due to excessive data
beingdeliveredfromoneofthesites,theframerelayswitchattemptstoflow
control the data by sending bits that notify network devices that transmis-
sionsintheoppositedirectionarecongested.Thesebits arecalled Backward
Explicit Congestion Notification (BECN) and Forward Explicit Congestion
Notification (FECN).

indicates to the frame relay equipment that the frame relay switch is experi-
encingdifficultyandthattheframerelaydeviceshouldbegintoflowcontrol
its traffic.
Figure B-4 shows an example of FECN and BECN messages being transmit-
ted to theframe relayequipment when congestion occurs. Both ends are no-

the receiving end should receive notification of congestion and then flow
control its data when the other end is causing the problem by sending large
amountsofdata.Flowcontrolisusedbythereceivingendsothatupperlay-
er acknowledgments from the destination slow down, therebyreducing the
amount ofdata being transmitted fromthe source.
