What is a characteristic of Frame Relay that allows customer data transmissions to dynamically “burst” over their CIR for short periods of time?

  • The combination of LMI status messages and Inverse ARP messages enables the CIR to be exceeded.
  • The physical circuits of the Frame Relay network are shared between subscribers and there may be times when unused bandwidth is available.
  • Bursting is enabled by the configuration of multiple subinterfaces on one physical interface.
  • BECN and FECN messages notify the router that the CIR can be exceeded.
