Configuring LFI

Real-time packets, such as Telnet and VoIP packets, might be blocked or delayed on a low-speed interface.

To reduce delays and jitters on low-speed links, LFI fragments large packets into small fragments. The fragments are reassembled at the destination.

Figure 2 illustrates the LFI process. When large packets and small voice packets arrive at a WFQ-enabled interface, LFI performs the following operations:

To configure LFI:

Step

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2. Enter VT interface or MP-group interface view.

interface { mp-group | virtual-template } mp-number

N/A

3. Enable LFI.

ppp mp lfi enable

By default, LFI is disabled.

Disabling LFI also removes the user-configured settings of the maximum LFI fragment delay and size.

4. Set the maximum LFI fragment transmission delay and the maximum LFI fragment size (in bytes).

  • ppp mp lfi delay-per-frag time

  • ppp mp lfi size-per-frag size

By default, the maximum LFI fragment transmission delay is 10 ms, and the maximum LFI fragment size is the expected bandwidth of the interface times the maximum delay divided by 8.
