Description
Discard
The packet discard feature provides a mechanism to discard complete or partial
CPCS-PDUs, based upon service discard attributes or error conditions.
The EPD feature performs these basic functions:
The frame relay discard attribute is contained in the BOM cell of a CPCS-PDU. If
the FRD_EN bit in the RSM VCC table is a logic high, the frame relay packet
discard function for that VCC is enabled, and the functions below are performed:
If the CLPD_EN bit in the RSM VCC table is a logic high, the Cell Loss Priority
packet discard function for that VCC is enabled, and the following functions
below are performed:
• Halts reassembly of the CPCS-PDU marked for discard until the next
• Writes a status queue entry with the EPD bit set and other appropriate
• When the reassembly coprocessor receives a BOM cell on a VCC with this
• If the SERV_DIS counter rolls over, the CNT_ROVR bit in the next status
• When the RSM coprocessor receives a cell and this function is enabled, it
• If the SERV_DIS counter rolls over, the CNT_ROVR bit in the next status
BOM cell and the error condition has cleared.

feature enabled, it checks the 1-bit DE field in the frame relay header. If
this bit is a logic high, and the channel priority (the DPRI in the RSM VCC
table) is less than or equal to the global priority, RSM_CTRL (GDIS_PRI),
the RSM coprocessor discards the cell, marks the rest of the packet for
discard, and increments the SERV_DIS counter in the VCC table. All cells
on that channel up to the next BOM are discarded.

VCC table holds this flag information until a status is sent.
