Traffic Management Screen

Traffic Category (Selectable)

Used to choose the traffic category for the selected name. UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate) is the default, and the choices are CBR (Constant Bit Rate), nrt-VBR (non real time Variable Bit Rate), and ABR (Available Bit Rate).

For both UBR and CBR, only the PCR (Peak Cell Rate) traffic parameter is displayed.

When nrt-VBR is chosen, the traffic paramenters SCR (sustained cell rate) and MBS (Maximum Burst Size) are displayed, along with PCR, which all need to be configured.

When ABR is chosen, the traffic parameters MCR (Maximum Cell Rate), RIF (Rate Increase Factor), and RDF (Rate Decrease Factor) are displayed, along with PCR, which all need to be configured.

Traffic Parameters: Transmit Units (Selectable)

Used to choose the units of measurement for the profile.

Traffic Parameters: Peak Cell Rate (PCR) (Selectable)

Used to choose the peak cell rate for the profile.

Sustained Cell Rate (SCR) (Selectable)

Used to choose the sustained cell rate for the profile. Only displayed when the traffic category nrt-VBR is chosen.

Maximum Burst Size (MBS) (Selectable)

Used to choose the maximum burst size for the profile. Only displayed when the traffic category nrt-VBR is chosen.

Maximum Cell Rate (MCR) (Selectable)

Used to choose the maximum cell rate for the profile. Only displayed when the traffic category ABR is chosen.

Rate Increase Factor (RIF) (Selectable)

Used to choose the rate increase factor for the profile. Only displayed when the traffic category ABR is chosen.

Rate Decrease Factor (RDF) (Selectable)

Used to choose the rate decrease factor for the profile. Only displayed when the traffic category ABR is chosen.

SAVE (Command)

Used to save all changes to NVRAM.

DELETE (Command)

This command deletes the Profile Index from NVRAM.
