Versatile Interface Processor-Based FRF.12

Versatile Interface Processor-Based FRF.12

Feature Overview

The Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR) capabilities that were introduced on the Cisco MC3810 Multiservice Access Concentrator beginning with Cisco IOS Release 11.3 were eventually extended to the Cisco 2600 series, 3600 series, and 7200 series router platforms. These capabilities are now available for Cisco 7500 series routers with a Versatile Interface Processor (VIP).

When VoFR is configured on a Cisco router, the router is able to carry voice traffic such as telephone calls and faxes over a Frame Relay network.

This document describes how to configure VoFR on the Cisco routers that support this feature. It is assumed you have already configured your Frame Relay backbone network. As part of your Frame Relay configuration, you need to configure the map class and the Local Management Interface (LMI) among other elements of Frame Relay functionality. For more information about basic Frame Relay configuration, see the Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide.

ADPCM--Adaptive differential pulse code modulation. A process by which analog voice samples are encoded into high-quality digital signals.

Call leg--A logical connection between the router and either a telephony endpoint over a bearer channel, or another endpoint using a session protocol.

CELP--Code excited linear prediction. A compression algorithm used in low bit-rate voice encoding. CELP is used in ITU-T Recommendations G.728, G.729, and G.723.1.

CID--Channel ID. Designates the Frame Relay subchannel ID for Voice over Frame Relay.

CIR--Committed information rate. The average rate of information transfer a subscriber (for example, a network administrator) has stipulated for a Frame Relay PVC.

Cisco-trunk (private line) call--A Cisco-trunk (private line) call is established by the forced connection of a dynamic switched call. A Cisco-trunk call is established during configuration of the trunk and stays up for the duration of the configuration. It optionally provides a pass-through connection path to pass signaling information between the two telephony interfaces at either end of the connection.

codec--Coder-decoder. (i) An integrated circuit device that typically uses pulse code modulation to transform analog signals into a digital bit stream and digital signals back into analog signals. (ii) In Voice over IP, Voice over Frame Relay, and Voice over ATM, a DSP software algorithm used to compress or decompress speech or audio signals.

CS-ACELP--Conjugate structure algebraic code excited linear prediction. A CELP voice compression algorithm specified in ITU-T Recommendation G.729, providing 8 kbps, or 8:1 compression.

DLCI--Data-link connection identifier. Value that specifies a PVC or SVC in a Frame Relay network. In the basic Frame Relay specification, DLCIs are locally significant (connected devices might use different values to specify the same connection). In the LMI extended specification, DLCIs are globally significant (DLCIs specify individual end devices).

Dial peer--An addressable call endpoint that contains configuration information, including voice protocol, codec type, and telephone number associated with the call endpoint. There are five kinds of dial peers: POTS, VoIP, VoFR, VoATM, and VoHDLC.

DS0--A 64-kbps B channel on an E1 or T1 WAN interface.

DTMF--Dual tone multifrequency. Use of two simultaneous voice-band tones for dial (such as touch tone).

DTMF relay--Enables the generation of FRF.11 Annex A frames for a VoFR dial peer. The DSP generates Annex A frames instead of passing a DTMF tone through the network as a voice sample.

Dynamic switched call--A telephone call dynamically established across a packet data network based on a dialed telephone number. In the case of VoFR, a Cisco proprietary session protocol similar to Q.931 is used to achieve call switching and negotiation between calling endpoints. The proprietary session protocol runs over FRF.11-compliant subchannels.

E&M--Stands for recEive and transMit (or Ear and Mouth). E&M is a trunking arrangement generally used for two-way switch-to-switch or switch-to-network connections. The Cisco analog E&M interface is an RJ-48 connector that allows connections to PBX trunk lines (tie lines). E&M is also available on E1 and T1 digital interfaces.

FIFO--First-in, first-out. In data communication, FIFO refers to a buffering scheme in which the first byte of data entering the buffer is the first byte retrieved by the CPU. In telephony, FIFO refers to a queuing scheme in which the first calls received are the first calls processed.

FRF--Frame Relay Forum. An association of corporate members consisting of vendors, carriers, users, and consultants committed to the implementation of Frame Relay in accordance with national and international standards. Refer to the web site http://www.frforum.com.

FRF.11--Frame Relay Forum implementation agreement for Voice over Frame Relay (v1.0 May 1997). This specification defines multiplexed data, voice, fax, DTMF digit-relay, and CAS/robbed-bit signaling frame formats, but does not include call setup, routing, or administration facilities. Refer to the website http://www.frforum.com.

FRF.11 Annex C--See FRF.12.

FRF11-trunk--A point-to-point permanent voice connection (private line) conforming to the FRF.11 specification.

FRF.12--The FRF.12 Implementation Agreement (also known as FRF.11 Annex C) was developed to allow long data frames to be fragmented into smaller pieces and interleaved with real-time frames. In this way, real-time voice and non-real-time data frames can be carried together on lower-speed links without causing excessive delay to the real-time traffic. Refer to the web site http://www.frforum.com.

FXO--Foreign Exchange Office. An FXO interface connects to the Public Switched Telephone Network's (PSTN) central office and is the interface offered on a standard telephone. The Cisco FXO interface is an RJ-11 connector that allows an analog connection to be directed at the PSTN central office or to a station interface on a PBX.

FXS--Foreign Exchange Station. An FXS interface connects directly to a standard telephone and supplies ring, voltage, and dial tone. The Cisco FXS interface is an RJ-11 connector that allows connections to basic telephone service equipment, keysets, and PBXs.

G.711--Describes the 64-kbps PCM voice coding technique. In G.711, encoded voice is already in the correct format for digital voice delivery in the PSTN or through PBXs. Described in the ITU-T standard in its G-series recommendations.

G.723.1--Describes a compression technique that can be used for compressing speech or audio signal components at a very low bit rate as part of the H.324 family of standards. This codec has two bit rates associated with it: 5.3 and 6.3 kbps. The higher bit rate is based on ML-MLQ technology and provides a somewhat higher quality of sound. The lower bit rate is based on CELP and provides system designers with additional flexibility. Described in the ITU-T standard in its G-series recommendations.

G.726--Describes ADPCM coding at 40, 32, 24, and 16 kbps. ADPCM-encoded voice can be interchanged between packet voice, PSTN, and PBX networks if the PBX networks are configured to support ADPCM. Described in the ITU-T standard in its G-series recommendations.

G.728--Describes a 16-kbps low-delay variation of CELP voice compression. CELP voice coding must be translated into a public telephony format for delivery to or through the PSTN. Described in the ITU-T standard in its G-series recommendations.

G.729--Describes CELP compression where voice is coded into 8-kbps streams. Two variations of this standard (G.729 and G.729 Annex A) that differ mainly in computational complexity; both provide speech quality similar to 32-kbps ADPCM. Described in the ITU-T standard in its G-series recommendations.

hookflash--A short on-hook period usually generated by a telephone-like device during a call to indicate that the telephone wishes to perform dial-tone recall from a PBX. Hookflash is often used to perform call transfer.

VoFR--Voice over Frame Relay.

VoFR dial peer--Dial peer connected through a Frame Relay network. VoFR peers point to specific VoFR devices.

Voice over Frame Relay--Voice over Frame Relay enables a router to carry voice traffic (for example, telephone calls and faxes) over a Frame Relay network. When voice traffic is sent over Frame Relay, the voice traffic is segmented and encapsulated for transit across the Frame Relay network using FRF.12 encapsulation.

Voice over IP--Voice over IP enables a router to carry voice traffic (for example, telephone calls and faxes) over an IP network. In Voice over IP, the DSP segments the voice signal into frames, which are then coupled in groups of two and stored in voice packets. These voice packets are transported using IP in compliance with ITU-T specification H.323.

VoIP--Voice over IP.

Functional Description

The Cisco VoFR implementation allows the following types of VoFR calls:

This section describes the setup of Cisco VoFR calls. In addition, the following functionality is described:

With dynamic switched calls, the VoFR system includes dial-plan information that is used to process and route the calls based on the telephone numbers dialed by the callers. The dial-plan information is contained within dial-peer entries.

Cisco Switched Voice over Frame Relay

A tandem node is an intermediate router node within the Frame Relay call path. Its purpose is to switch the frames from one PVC subchannel to another (from one VoFR dial peer onto another VoFR dial peer) as the frames traverse the network. Use of tandem router nodes also avoids the need to have complete dial-plan information present on every router.

Dynamic Switched Calls

Dynamic switched calls are regular telephone calls in which the dial-plan-based call switching is performed by the Cisco router. The destination endpoint of the call is selected by the router based on the telephone number dialed and the dial-plan information contained in the dial-peer configuration entries. Contrast this implementation with permanent calls (Cisco-trunk calls), where the call endpoints are permanently fixed at configuration time.

The dial peer is configured using the session protocol cisco-switched dial-peer configuration command, which uses the Cisco proprietary session protocol.

Cisco-Trunk (Private Line) Calls

A Cisco-trunk (private line) call is basically a normal dynamic switched call of indefinite duration that uses a fixed destination telephone number and includes optional transparent end-to-end signaling. The telephone number of the destination endpoint is permanently configured into the router so that it always selects a fixed destination. Once established, either at bootup or when configured, the call stays up until one of the voice ports or network ports is shut down, or until a network disruption occurs.

The connection trunk voice-port command is used to establish a Cisco-trunk call; the dial peer is configured using the session protocol cisco-switched command, which invokes the Cisco proprietary session protocol.

Cisco 7500 series routers with a VIP can only be used for tandem switching. Cisco 7500 series routers can not be used as end nodes.

Frame Relay Fragmentation

Cisco has developed the following three methods of performing Frame Relay fragmentation:

These Frame Relay fragmentation methods are briefly described in the following sections.

Frame Relay fragmentation can be configured in conjunction with Voice over Frame Relay or independently of it.

End-to-End FRF.12 Fragmentation

FRF.12 fragmentation is defined by the FRF.12 Implementation Agreement. The FRF.12 Implementation Agreement was developed to allow long data frames to be fragmented into smaller pieces and interleaved with real-time frames. In this way, real-time voice and non-real-time data frames can be carried together on lower-speed links without causing excessive delay to the real-time traffic. As a result, FRF.12 is the recommended fragmentation to be used by VoIP.


Note   VoIP packets should not be fragmented. However, VoIP packets can be interleaved with fragmented packets.
If some PVCs are carrying voice traffic, enable fragmentation on all PVCs. The fragmentation header is only included for frames that are greater than the fragment size configured.

The Cisco 7500 series routers with a VIP support end-to-end fragmentation on a per-PVC basis. Fragmentation is configured through a map class, which can apply to one or many PVCs, depending on how the class is applied.

Frame Relay Fragmentation Using FRF.11 Annex C

When Voice over Frame Relay (FRF.11) and fragmentation are both configured on a PVC, the Frame Relay fragments are transmitted in the FRF.11 Annex C format.

This fragmentation is used when FRF.11 voice traffic is transmitted on the PVC and it uses the FRF.11 Annex C format for data.

With FRF.11, all data packets contain fragmentation headers regardless of size. This form of fragmentation is not recommended for use with Voice over IP.

Cisco Proprietary Voice Encapsulation

Cisco proprietary voice fragmentation was implemented on earlier releases of the Cisco MC3810 Multiservice Access Concentrator. This fragmentation type is used on data packets on a PVC that is also used for voice traffic. When the vofr cisco command is configured on a DLCI and fragmentation is enabled on a map class, the Cisco 7500 series router with a VIP can interoperate with Cisco 2600 series, 3600 series, 7200 series, and other 7500 series routers as tandem nodes (but cannot perform call termination) with Cisco MC3810 concentrators running Cisco IOS releases earlier than 12.0(3)XG or 12.0(4)T.

On Cisco 7500 series routers, entering the vofr cisco command is the only method for configuring Cisco proprietary voice encapsulation.

Frame Relay Fragmentation Conditions and Restrictions

When Frame Relay fragmentation is configured, the following conditions and restrictions apply:


Note   Fragmentation is performed after frames are removed from the weighted fair queue.

Configuration Tasks

This section describes how to configure VoFR, including the Cisco implementations for FRF.12. The following major tasks are covered and are divided into the following sections:

This section specifically describes the commands to configure VoFR applications. It is assumed you have already configured your Frame Relay backbone network, including the map class and the LMI. For more information about Frame Relay configuration, see the Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide.

Preliminary Frame Relay Configuration for Voice

This section describes preliminary Frame Relay configuration tasks that are necessary to support VoFR:

Configuring a Map Class to Support Voice over Frame Relay

Before configuring a Frame Relay DLCI for voice traffic, you must create a Frame Relay map class and configure it to support voice traffic. Configuring a Frame Relay map class is required because the voice bandwidth and fragmentation size attributes are configured on the map class. These attributes are required for sending voice traffic on the PVC.

This section is divided into the following procedures:

A map class applies to a single DLCI or to a group of DLCIs, depending on how the class has been applied to the virtual circuit. If you have a large number of PVCs to configure, you can assign the PVCs the same traffic-shaping properties without statically defining the values for each PVC. You can create multiple map classes with different variables for each map class.

Configure a Frame Relay Map Class to Support Voice Traffic (Required)

To configure a Frame Relay map class to support voice traffic on a single DLCI or a group of DLCIs, use the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose

Step 1

router(config)# map-class frame-relay map-class-name

Create a map-class name you will assign to a group of PVCs. The map-class name must be unique.

Step 2

router(config-map-class)# frame-relay voice bandwidth bps reserved

(FRF.11 only) Sets the bandwidth (in kpbs) reserved for voice traffic. This amount determines the number of voice calls allowed on the DLCIs associated with this map class. Set this value to no higher than the minimum CIR if you want to preserve voice quality when a burst is being transmitted. The valid range is from 8000 to 45,000,000 bps.

This command must be configured for voice calls to take place. The default for this command is 0, which disables all voice calls.

To configure the map class to support FRF.12 fragmentation, see the "Configure a Frame Relay Map Class to Support FRF.12 Fragmentation (Required)" section. To configure the map class to support traffic shaping if you want to send both voice traffic and data traffic on the same PVC, see the "Configure a Service Policy for Traffic-Shaping Parameters for Use on a Map Class (Optional)" section.

Configure a Frame Relay Map Class to Support FRF.12 Fragmentation (Required)

To configure the map class to support FRF.12 fragmentation, use the following command in map-class configuration mode:

router(config-map-class)# frame-relay fragment fragment_size

This command configures Frame Relay fragmentation for the map class. The fragment_size defines the payload size of a fragment, and excludes the Frame Relay headers and any Frame Relay fragmentation header. The valid range is from 16 to 1600 bytes, and the default is 53.

The fragment_size should be less than or equal to the MTU size.

Set the fragmentation size such that the largest data packet is not larger than the voice packets.

To configure the map class to support traffic shaping if you want to send both voice traffic and data traffic on the same PVC, see the next section, "Configure a Service Policy for Traffic-Shaping Parameters for Use on a Map Class (Optional)" section of this document.

Configure a Service Policy for Traffic-Shaping Parameters for Use on a Map Class (Optional)

When you configure a Frame Relay PVC to support voice traffic, you must ensure that the carrier can accommodate the traffic rate or profile transmitted on the PVC. If too much traffic is sent at once, the carrier might discard frames, which causes disruptions to real-time voice traffic. The carrier might also deal with traffic bursts by queuing up the bursts and delivering them at a metered rate. Excessive queuing also causes disruption to real-time voice traffic.

To compensate for this condition, traffic shaping is required if you are sending both voice traffic and data traffic over the same PVC.


Note   When you configure the outgoing Excess Burst size, the Committed Burst size, and the committed information rate (CIR) values, obtain the appropriate values from your carrier. The values configured on the router must match those of the carrier. Traffic shaping is necessary to prevent your carrier from discarding Discard Eligible (DE) bits on ingress or to prevent excessive burst data from affecting voice quality.

Use the following commands to configure shaping parameters for Cisco 7500 routers with a VIP:

Command Purpose

Step 1

Router(config)# policy-map policy-name

Specifies the name of the service policy to be created.

Step 2

Router(config-pmap)# class class-default

Specifies the name of the default class to configure. Although the default class is not required to configure traffic-shaping parameters, Cisco Systems highly recommends that you configure traffic shaping on the default class.

Step 3

Router(config-pmap-c)# shape {average | peak} 
mean-rate [burst-size [excess-burst-size]]

Shapes traffic to the indicated bit rate according to the algorithm specified.

Step 4

router(config-pmap-c)# exit

Exits policy map class configuration mode.

Step 5

router(config-pmap)# exit

Exits policy map configuration mode.

Step 6

router(config)# map-class frame-relay map-class-name

Creates a map-class name you will assign to a group of PVCs. The map-class name must be unique.

Step 7

router(config-map-class)# service-policy output policy-map-name

Specifies the name of the service policy to be attached to the interface. In this particular example, the name of the service policy was specified in Step 1.

For additional information on the shape command, see the Distributed Traffic Shaping  feature module on CCO.

If your shape configuration is complete, see the "Verifying Your Frame Relay Configuration" section. To begin your dial peer configuration, see Appendix  section of this document.

Creating a Service Policy for FRF.11 or FRF.12 (Optional)

To create a service policy for FRF.11 or FRF.12, enter the following commands:

Command Purpose

Step 1

Router(config)# class-map class-name

Specifies the name of the traffic class to configure.

Step 2

Router(config-cmap)# match match-criterion

Specifies the match criterion. IP precedence matching is the most commonly used match criterion for FRF.12. For FRF.11, the match protocol vofr command is the required match criterion.

Step 3

Router(config-cmap)# exit

Exits class map configuration mode.

Step 4

Router(config)# policy-map policy-name

Specifies the name of the service policy to configure.

Step 5

Router(config-pmap)# class class-name

Specifies the name of a predefined class, which was defined with the class-map command, included in the service policy. In this example, the class-name was defined in Step 1.

Step 6

Router(config-pmap-c)# priority bandwidth

Reserves a priority queue for CBWFQ traffic.

For information on the priority command, see the Low Latency Queueing for the V ersatile Interface Processor document on CCO.

Step 7

Router(config-pmap-c)# exit

Exits policy map class configuration mode.

Step 8

Router(config-pmap)# exit

Exits policy map configuration mode.

Step 9

Router(config)# policy-map policy-name

Specifies the name of the service policy to configure.

Step 10

Router(config-pmap)# class class-name

Specifies the name of a predefined class, which was defined with the class-map command, included in the service policy.
In this example, the class-name was defined in step 1.

Step 11

Router(config-pmap-c)# shape {average | peak}

mean-rate [burst-size [excess-burst-size]]

Shapes traffic to the indicated bit rate according to the algorithm specified.

Step 12

Router(config-pmap-c)# service-policy

policy-name

Specifies the name of a previously configured service policy to use in the new service policy. For purposes of FRF.11 and FRF.12, the policy-name is specified in Step 10.

Step 13

Router(config-pmap-c)# exit

Exits policy map class configuration mode.

Step 14

Router(config-pmap)# exit

Exits policy map configuration mode.

Step 15

router(config)# map-class frame-relay map-class-name

Creates a map class name you will assign to a group of PVCs. The map class name must be unique.

Step 16

Verifying Your Frame Relay Configuration

You can check the validity of your Frame Relay configuration by performing the following tasks:

Configuration Examples

This section provides specific configuration examples for different VoFR connections and call type scenarios. This section includes the following examples:


Note   In the examples, some commands are shown with a boldface lowercase letter. These letters indicate command settings that must match on the different routers. For example, the frame-relay cir s value indicates that the committed information rate "s" must match on the routers as shown.

The examples do not provide complete configurations, but show the required commands to configure Voice over Frame Relay.

Tandem Configuration with a Cisco MC3810 Endpoint Node for Cisco-Trunk (Private Line) Calls

Figure 3 shows an example of a tandem configuration with a Cisco MC3810 acting as an endpoint node for Cisco-trunk (private line) calls.


Note   When a Cisco MC3810 is on a VoFR network, the configuration for connections to and from the Cisco MC3810 is slightly different from that of other routers that support VoFR. The vofr cisco command is required for those connections.

Note   The service-policy output llq-shape command used on the Cisco 7500 series router in the above example assumes that the service policy called llq-shape was configured using low latency queuing and distributed traffic shaping. For information on low latency queueing on the VIP, see the Low Latency Queueing for the VIP  feature module on CCO. For information on distributed traffic shaping, see the Distributed Traffic Shaping  feature module on CCO.
The Configuration Examples section of this document assumes that the frf-12 map-class and the llq-shape service policy were previously configured.
