    Task 7.1 - Fragmentation size

    Ok this is probably an easy one but where do you get the # 320 from for the fragmentation size?

     

    map-class frame-relay DLCI_403
    frame-relay cir 256000
    frame-relay bc 2560
    frame-relay fragment 320

     

     

    Thanks!

    bc = 2560 bits aka 320 Bytes

    ugh, I knew it was something that easy!

     

    In my defence, I didn't have the fragmentation command on the IOS I was using, so I couldn't have seen it was in bytes :P

     

    Thanks smokey.

    Re: Task 7.1 - Fragmentation size

    I must be missing something here.  It says in the requirements to decrease the serialization delay as much as possible while making sure that a single packet cannot take more than one interval to be transmitted.  I think a typical max for Frame Relay is 1600 bytes.  where do they come up with 320 bytes?  They create the 10 ms interval which would be ideal for voice but totally ignore the requirement to transmit a single packet per interval.  1600 bytes would be 12800 bits or a 50 ms interval wouldn't it? 

    I know I must be wrong but I am not understanding the logic here.

    "a single packet cannot take more than one interval to be transmitted"

     

    Each interval (bc) is 2560 bits, so you fragment to 2560bits (320 bytes).
