EFM Bonding Overhead Description
Beforebeingtransportedoverthephysicallayer(DS3,T1,etc.),theEFMbondingenginefirst
encapsulatesEthernetframesintoEFMfragments.EFMFragmentpayloadscanvaryfrom64

%Utilization=(Frame
Size)/(FrameSize+8)x(64/65)
•Ethernetframesbetween513and1024bytes,inclusive:
%Utilization=(FrameSize)/(FrameSize+16)x(64/65)
•Ethernetframes1025bytesorlarger:
%Utilization=(FrameSize)/(FrameSize+24)x(64/65)
