| 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 | |
PCR | time interval between 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. This is the rate that can be | |
SCR | sustained for “bursty”, | |
| function of Maximum Burst Size (MBS) and the time | |
| interval (between cells). | |
