8. LAN traffic filters do not include protocol prioritization filtering actions Only outbound WAN traffic filters support protocol prioritization When implementing outbound traffic filters for LAN protocols note that in some configurations the filters may cause a decline in throughput performance For LAN circuits where the forwarding rate of the router is critical we suggest that you monitor the throughput performance after configuring outbound LAN filters If you notice an unacceptable performance degradation try using inbound traffic filters to accomplish the filtering goal For more information on traffic filters refer to Configuring Traffic Filters and Protocol Prioritization IP Inbound Traffic Filter Detailed Logging Inbound IP traffic filters support a new action called Detailed Logging A filter with this action adds an entry containing IP header information to the system Events log for every packet that matches the filter criteria and ranges 10 Release Notes for Router Software Version 10 0 Protocol Prioritization and the Frame Relay DE Bit X 25 Frame Relay packets in the Low priority protocol prioritization queue have the Discard Eligible DE bit set by default The DE bit is off by default in Frame Relay packets in the Normal and High priority queues In the Edit Protocol Priority Interface window of the Configuration Manager you can now change the default status of the Frame Relay Discard Eligible DE bit for pac
