1. A Frame Relay switch may perform three actions when detecting excessive frame buildup: put a hold on accepting frames in excess of the CIR, drop frames from the queue that have the DE bit set, and set the BECN bit on all frames it places on the congested link.
2. The benefit of Frame Relay over leased lines or ISDN is that customers only pay for the bandwidth they purchase from the network provider.
3. For routers R1, R2, and R3 to ping each other successfully over Frame Relay, R2 and R3 would need the frame-relay map commands configuring the correct DLCIs to establish connectivity between all routers.
