Chuck, Couple of different approaches to the below: - on F/R links, you can set low priority packets to be discard eligible, though I'm not sure that very many frame relay SPs support this - features such as Random Early Discard/Detect are often employed on links subject to congestion to avoid the phenomina you describe below - Queuing approaches such as WRED and WFQ can also make sure that priority traffic gets through in times of congestion.
