Abstract:
A method comprising:receiving a first plurality of frame relay packets in a frame relay access device, each of the first plurality of frame relay packets having a respective initial data link connection identifier (DLCI);associating a respective multiplexing value with each of the first plurality of frame relay packets based on its respective initial DLCI;associating a common bundling DLCI with each of the first plurality of frame relay packets based on a configuration parameter that can be modified by a human operator to have at least a first state or a second state, the first state indicating that the common bundling DLCI is included in voice frames generated in the frame relay access device, and the second state indicating that the common bundling DLCI is not included in voice frames generated in the frame relay access device; andtransmitting each of the first plurality of frame relay packets over a frame relay network using the common bundling DLCI and the respective multiplexing value.
