BECNs are mesages from the network; sourced by the network switches which
the telco has control over, they are used to inform end devices or
frame-relay subscribers (like yourself) that they (the telco switch) have
entered a congested state. If elevated traffic levels continue the switch
will begin to relieve congestion by selectively discarding frames with the
DE (discard eligible) bit set to one. In other words these messages (BECNs)
are intended to make users aware of a possible degraded network state.
Its a warning (from the Telco) saying if you're over utilizing your link,
back off because we're gonna have to start dropping frames if this
congestion doesn't subside.
If you notice continual accrual of BECNs causing you grief (delays,
latency etc) you might want to get the telco to reconfigure your path (PVC)
through their network.
