John,
Commited Burst is the maximum amount of data (in bits) that the network
agrees to transfer, under normal conditions. This data has priority under
conditions of congestion. Excess Burst is the maximum amount of uncommitted
data (in bits) in excess of Commited bursts that a frame relay network can
attempt to deliver during a time interval. Excess bursts data has a
user-set bit indicating that the frame may be discarded (is set to discard
elegible)in preference to other frames if congestion occurs. What it all
boils down to is that excess burst frames can be dumped if congestion occurs
so their is no guarantee that they will make it. You usually set this
amount with your provider (i.e. 128k commited/256k Excess)when ordering your
frame circuit.
hope this helps
