mined by the speed of the LAN/port (the higher the speed, the lower the cost), will be
added together with all other path costs on a specific link between source and desti-
nation devices. The total will then be compared to other total path costs to determine
the least "expensive" end-to-end path.

Priorities are configured on all logical interfaces that use a physical frame relay port.
The device processor in the node uses these priorities to help determine the order in
which it will process protocols.
