BECN: Backward Explicit Congestion Notification
Backward Explicit Congestion Notification (BECN) is a one bit field in the Frame Relay header that signals to anything receiving the frame (switches and DTEs) that congestion is occurring in the opposite (backward) direction from the frame. Frame Relay switches and DTEs may slow down the data transfer rate in that direction according to the BECN bit.
