DSL-504T DSL Router User’s Guide

The ATM menu parameters are described as follows:

 

Parameter

Description

 

 

 

 

PVC

Select the connection to adjust QoS settings from the drop-down menu.

 

 

 

 

 

UBR – Unspecified Bit Rate, this is the default category used for general-

 

 

purpose Internet traffic where normal levels of packet loss and delay are

 

 

acceptable. For some applications or for multiple connection accounts, it

 

 

may be desirable to specify the PCR.

 

 

CBR – Constant Bit Rate, usually used in circumstances where very low

 

Service Category

packet loss and very low Cell Delay Variable (CDV) are desirable.

 

 

VBR – Variable Bit Rate, usually used when network traffic is characterized

 

 

by bursts of packets at variable intervals, and some moderate packet loss

 

 

and delay is acceptable. This category is typically used for audio and video

 

 

applications such as teleconferencing. The network must support QoS Class

 

 

2 to use VBR.

 

 

 

 

PCR

Peak Cell Rate – The PCR is inversely related to the time interval between

 

ATM cells. It is specified for all three service categories in Kbps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sustainable Cell Rate – The SCR is defined for Variable Bit Rate service.

 

SCR

This is the rate that can be sustained for “bursty”, on-off traffic sources. It

 

is a function of Maximum Burst Size (MBS) and the time interval (between

 

 

 

 

cells).

 

 

 

 

 

To allow the Router to forward IGMP packets through the WAN port. Select

 

IGMP Proxy

the Enabled radio button and click Apply. The IGMP Proxy is enabled or

 

 

disabled for all connections on multiple connection accounts.
