Frame Relay traffic shaping

Hi,
let's assume this scenario. Central location is connected to FR netowrk with
port speed 2Mbps. And remote location is connected with port speed of
64kbps. CIR between them is 32kbps.
This is exact case for FR traffic shaping so central location will not
overwhalm remote location with burst of data.
In cisco book (CCIE practical studies, 2 examples), I read that for mincir
value I need to put real CIR (32kbps) and for CIR parameter I need to put
local port speed (in this case 2Mbps).
In this case it should look like:
frame-relay cir 2000000
frame-relay mincir 32000
Isn't this wrong ?
What would be the point of this. With this config, central location will
send data as fast as it can and will definitely overvhalm remote location
with data.

Shouldn't I put port speed of remote location for cir (64kbps).
frame-relay cir 64000
frame-relay mincir 32000

thanks,

You have it correct, use the circuit speed of the remote port as the cir and
the pvc speed for the mincir.

For your scenario, yes. The goal here is to try to get more than you paid
for. Pace at mincir, but try to burst up to CIR.

See http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/125/traffic_shaping_6151.html. You
want CIR to be the access rate of the remote (or the link with the slowest
access rate), and MINCIR to be the telco CIR. It never makes sense to try
to burst over access rate.

paid

Thanks for the document that sums it up. Although I have collected several
cisco documents that has some different opinions about FR TS.
thanks,
