Evening all,
I'm reading about Frame Relay on Protocols.com and a question arises.
When the network becomes congested to the point that it cannot process
new data transmissions, it begins to start discarding frames. Two bits are
changed in the F.R. header..FECN bit and BECN bit. In this way all
downstream nodes and the attached user device learn about congestion on the
line.
Does this not mean that ICMP would send a "buffer full" message, and
I thought that was the job of a "source-quench message"? Any movement of the
definition lines would be gladly received.
Ya'lls truly, :>)
Dale
