Frame Relay Interworking with IP QoS
Similar to IP-ATM QoS, IP Frame Relay QoS is necessary to provide end-to-end IP QoS.
At the ingress to a Frame Relay network, IP traffic queues are maintained for each Frame
Relay VC. On each VC queue, you can apply the WFQ and WRED IP QoS techniques. In
addition to WFQ, PQ-WFQ, priority, and custom queuing can also be configured as a
scheduling mechanism for traffic queued on a VC.
As discussed previously, the Frame Relay uses the DE bit to provide a basic prioritization
scheme for its traffic. ...
