(In topic `Network Architectures`) BECN is an acronym for Backward Error Congestion Notification. In congested Frame Relay networks, BECN informs the transmitting device that the network is congested and that it should ‘back off` to enable improved throughput. (see Frame Relay and FECN)

Backward explicit congestion notification. Bit set by a Frame Relay network in frames traveling in the opposite direction of frames encountering a congested path.
