FRAME RELAY FRAME SHAPING PER DLCI

摘要

A switch of a network, which services a contract, for switching frame relay frames having a variable size. The switch includes ports through which frames are received from and sent to the network. The switch includes a memory in which data of the frames is stored, the memory in communication with the ports. The switch includes a processor which sends traffic contract conforming frames within a first time interval having a bandwidth to the network and adds unusable bandwidth from the first time interval to a second time interval in which the processor sends data to the network. A method for switching frame relay frames having a variable size in a network, which services a contract.
