Configuring LSQ Interfaces as T3 or OC3 Bundles Using FRF.12

This example configures a clear-channel T3 or OC3 interface with multiple logical interfaces (DLCIs) on the link. In this scenario, each DLCI represents a customer. DLCIs are shaped at the egress PIC to a particular speed (NxDS0). This allows you to configure LFI using FRF.12 End-to-End Protocol on Frame Relay DLCIs.

To do this, first configure logical interfaces (DLCIs) on the physical interface. Then bundle the DLCIs, so that there is only one DLCI per bundle.

The physical interface must be capable of per-DLCI scheduling, which allows you to attach shaping rates to each DLCI. For more information, see the Junos® OS Network Interfaces.

To prevent fragment drops at the egress PIC, you must assign a shaping rate to the link services IQ logical interfaces and to the egress DLCIs. Shaping rates on DLCIs specify how much bandwidth is available for each DLCI. The shaping rate on link services IQ interfaces should match the shaping rate assigned to the DLCI that is associated with the bundle.

Egress interfaces also must have a scheduler map attached. The queue that carries voice should be strict-high-priority, while all other queues should be low-priority. This makes LFI possible.

This example shows voice traffic in the ef queue. The voice traffic is interleaved with bulk data. Alternatively, you can use multiclass MLPPP to carry multiple classes of traffic in different multilink classes, as described in Configuring Multiclass MLPPP on LSQ Interfaces.
