MBS: Maximum Burst Size (MBS) is the maximum number of cells that can be sent at the PCR. After MBS is reached, cell rates fall below SCR until cell rate averages to the SCR again. At this time, more cells (up to the MBS) can be sent at the PCR again.

CBR is for connections that support constant rates of data transfer. The only parameter you need to worry about in CBR is PCR.

UBR is for connections that have variable traffic. The only parameter you need to worry about in UBR is PCR.

rtVBR is for connections that, while having variable traffic, require precise timing between traffic source and destination. PCR, SCR and MBS must all be set for rtVBR.

nrtVBR is for connections that have variable traffic, do not require precise timing, but still require a set bandwidth availability. PCR, SCR and MBS must all be set for nrtVBR.
