ATM Traffic Shaping

The ATM settings in the WAN configuration menus for the different connection types can be used to adjust QoS parameters for ADSL clients. This may not be available to all ADSL accounts. Ask your ISP if ATM

ATM QoS Parameters

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ATM settings allow the user to adjust ATM Quality of Service (QoS) or

 

 

 

traffic parameters to suit specific traffic requirements. For applications or

 

 

 

circumstances where packet loss or packet delay are a concern, ATM QoS

 

 

 

can be adjusted to minimize problems. For most accounts, it will not be

 

 

 

necessary to change these settings. Altering QoS settings can adversely

 

 

 

affect performance of some commonly used Internet applications.

 

 

 

If you plan to change QoS or traffic parameters, contact your ISP or network

 

 

 

services provider for information on what types of adjustment are available

 

 

 

or possible for your account. Your ISP may not support the class of service

 

 

 

you want to use.

 

 

 

To adjust ATM QoS parameters, select one of the Service Categories listed

 

 

Service Category

here and type in the PCR value in the entry field below. For the VBR service

 

 

category, an additional parameter (SCR) must also be defined.

 

 

 

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 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

PCR

ATM cells. It is specified for all three service categories (UBR, CBR and

 

 

 

VBR) in Kbps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sustainable Cell Rate – The SCR is defined for the VBR service category.

 

 

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).
