FECN: Forward Explicit Congestion Notification

Forward Explicit Congestion Notification (FECN) is a bit set by a Frame Relay network to inform DTE receiving the frame that congestion was experienced in the path from source to destination. DTE-receiving frames with the FENC bit set can request that higher-level protocols take flow-control action as appropriate.
