Patrick,
You might need more bandwidth, but it is not quite that simple.
When you receive a BECN (Backward Explicit Congestion Notification) your
Frame Relay network is telling you that it has encountered congestion in the
network and has dropped traffic. It might be useful to find out where the
FECN (Foreward Explicit Congestion Notification) ended up, as more bandwidth
on this link could cause this condition to abate.
Other potential solutions is to limit usage using ACLs or by adopting a more
robust queuing strategy.
Keep in mind that Frame Relay is a best-effort technology, and the BECNs you
are receiving are a notification that the best-effort was not good enough.
Also, keep in mind that limited numbers of FECNs and BECNs are to be
expected, so don't lose sleep over them. If you really get hammered with
them and have a negative end user experience associated with them, then you
have a problem you can look at solving.
Otherwise, you might be better served working out other issues in your
network.
HTH,
Casey
