Congratulations, you're working with a commercial frame-relay provider. When I was a sprint customer, they marked all of my traffic as DE, regardless of CIR. Very annoying. FECN'S, BECN'S, and DE are all features that your provider may or may not have configured (properly) in their network. They are required to pass data, not meet with accepted industry standards.

Recently I have come across some router output that doesn't make sence to me. I don't understand why I have DE pkts when I don't have and FECN or BECN errors. Or for that matter how I can have so many DE pks and no of them were dropped. I was thinking of implementing traffic shaping, but I don't know if that will help if I am not receiving any BECN errors. On top of that I understand that when your CIR is reached packets get marked DE but at what point do they actually get dropped. Can someone try to make a little sence out of this for me?
