We also had some odd problems with our FR.  When the circuit was nearing
full congestion the LMI wouldn't get through and the cascade would react
by bouncing the circuit (which bounced the BGP, etc. etc.).  We finally
had to shutoff LMI which causes us problems any time they decide to
re-do the circuit for any reason....

Uhh...I think that LMI gets priority over any other data...so the PVC
bouncing sounds like something else is causing LMI to stop flowing.  But
maybe I am wrong.
