3409.5Routing Circuit Counters for Frame RelayHTKING::M_SHELDONTue May 06 1997 13:49104
On a related issue, some of the routing circuit counters for a PPP Frame Relay
circuit do not increment. Any idea if this will ever be fixed. I will do an 
IPMT if it would help.

3409.6per-connection counters available in V4.0-5MARVIN::RIGBYNo such thing as an alpha betaWed May 07 1997 05:1915
This is documented behaviour for DECNIS software versions before V4.0-5. As the
line card did not keep per-connection counters for the frame relay channel the
routing circuit (which is associated with a single connection) counters couldn't
be maintained either.

With the very latest DECNIS V4.0 release which hasn't even been announced yet
there are a lot of Frame Relay enhancements including the maintenance of
per-connection counters, connection rate control, BECN monitoring etc. etc.

I would recommend all users of Frame Relay to use the V4.0-5 version of the
DECNIS software and check out the internal DECNIS web pages including

3409.7Per PVC Frame Relay Counters as of V4.0-6 MARVIN::MCCLURETony McClure, DECnis Engineering RE02 FD9 7830-3564Wed May 07 1997 05:2217
Hi Mike,

	As you mentioned in a previous reply frame relay per PVC counters
	don't work. This was a due on a limitation in the linecard software.

	As of V4.0-6 (soon to be released to the world) the DECnis frame relay
	support has been greatly enhanced. The DECnis now supports frame-relay
	rate limiting to a fixed CIR and also dymanic increasing above CIR 
	when the frame relay network is quiet. Also we have implemented per 
	PVC counters.
	
	I believe that the documentation if available from DECnis web page.


Cheers Tony.


3409.8no it really is V4.0-5MARVIN::RIGBYNo such thing as an alpha betaWed May 07 1997 05:2527
Notes collision and Tony quoted the wrong version - we had proposed skipping a
version for this release but we didn't so its called V4.0-5 not V4.0-6.
