Configuring Fragmentation by Forwarding Class

For AS PIC link services IQ (lsq-) interfaces only, you can configure fragmentation properties on a particular forwarding class. To do this, include the fragmentation-maps statement at the [edit class-of-service] hierarchy level:

[edit class-of-service]

To set a per-forwarding class fragmentation threshold, include the fragment-threshold statement in the fragmentation map. This statement sets the maximum size of each multilink fragment.

To set traffic on a particular forwarding class to be interleaved rather than fragmented, include the no-fragmentation statement in the fragmentation map. This statement specifies that an extra fragmentation header is not prepended to the packets received on this queue and that static link load balancing is used to ensure in-order packet delivery.

To change the resequencing interval for each fragmentation class, include the drop-timeout statement in the forwarding class. The interval is in milliseconds, and the default is 500 ms for link speeds of T1 or greater and 1500 ms for links slower than T1 speeds. You must also include a multilink-class value for resequencing fragments. If you include these statements, you cannot configure no-fragmentation for the forwarding class; they are mutually exclusive.

For a given forwarding class, include either the fragment-threshold or no-fragmentation statement; they are mutually exclusive.
