Discovery | The method used for determining the address of | |
| the LES. Possible methods are: | |
| • Auto - The address of the LES is discovered | |
|
| using the proprietary ’automatic LES address |
|
| determination method’. |
| • Manual - The LES’s address is manually | |
|
| entered. |

Early Packet Discard | There are two packet discard thresholds for each | |
Threshold | option card, called Early Packet Discard (EPD) and | |
| Partial Packet Discard (PPD). By default, both | |
| thresholds have a default set limit and are enabled. | |
| The Cajun M770 ATM Device uses EPD to discard | |
| entire AAL5 frames for ABR and UBR traffic (rather | |
| than random cells from different frames), when it | |
| determines that it is about to become congested. | |
| The Cajun M770 ATM Device passes through the | |
| last cell of each AAL5 frame so that end stations are | |
| aware that a discard has taken place. You can | |
| configure a threshold at which the EPD will be | |
| invoked. The threshold is a percentage of the | |
| overall shared buffer space. | |
|
