Over a low-speed frame relay links, long data frames might increase the transmission delay. The
FRF.12 fragmentation function fragments long data frames into small fragments, and guarantees
that the data frames are transmitted with a lower delay over a lower-speed link.
When data frames and voice frames are transmitted at the same time, long data frame transmission
occupies bandwidth for a long time, and might delay the voice frames or even cause the voice
frames to be dropped, affecting the voice quality. The FRF.12 fragmentation function decreases the
delay of voice frames, and improves the voice quality. With the FRF.12 fragmentation function
enabled, long data frames are fragmented into small fragments, and interleaved with voice frames,
so that voice frames are transmitted promptly and evenly and the transmission delay is reduced.
The FRF.12 fragmentation function is mutually exclusive with FRTS configured by using the fr
traffic-shaping command. For more information about FRTS, see HPE FlexNetwork MSR Router
Series Comware 5 ACL and QoS Configuration Guide.
