Ratio of DE packets to in packets is irrelevant. It tells nothing about your
reliability. It does not necessarily mean that you are losing data. What the
DE stat does tell you is that you are exceeding your CIR substantially. You
may just be getting more than your money's worth, maybe?
FECN and BECN stats don't indicate a lot of carrier side congestion at all.
A better way to analyze your frame relay usage and reliability is to install
some kind of monitoring and analysis tool at both ends. There are third
parties that sell such things.
Otherwise, you have to listen to the users, and maybe run some tests
yourself during business hours and observe what happens.

Larry,
I'm a newbie on FR, however, I would compare your
in PACKETS with your in DE PACKETS and you are losing
2/3rds of your data. I would look at increasing your
CIR by 2/3rds as a result. Unless of course nobody is
complaining about the access speed ?
