Fragment Size Calculation for MLP Over Frame Relay-Based LFI

To calculate the minimum fragment size for MLP over Frame Relay-based LFI, do the following:
Step 1 Calculate the nominal fragment size (link weight) by using the following formula:
Subtract the Frame Relay encapsulation bytes and the MLP header bytes by using the following formula:
Step 2
If PPP protocol compression is on, subtract 1 byte.
Step 3
For no protocol compression, subtract 2 bytes.
For MLP over Frame Relay-based LFI, the minimum fragment size is 56, calculated as follows:
(MLP Min. Weight) – (PPP Encapsulation Bytes) – (MLP Header Bytes) = Min. Fragment Size
where:
MLP Minimum Weight is 64
PPP Encapsulation Bytes is 4.
MLP Header Bytes is 4.

(Link Bandwidth * Fragment-Delay) / 8
Nominal Fragment Size – (Frame Relay Encap. Bytes + MLP Header Bytes + Cells Checksum)
where:
Frame Relay Encapsulation Bytes is 4.
MLP Header Bytes is 4.
Cells Checksum is 2.
Configure the following commands and recommended values on the virtual template interface:
ppp max-configure 110
–
ppp max-failure 100
–
ppp timeout retry 5
–
keepalive 30
–
Configure the hold-queue command in interface configuration mode for all Frame Relay physical
interfaces.
