U.S. Robotics SureConnect ADSL Ethernet/USB Router User Guide

The following table briefly describes these options.

Service

Name

Description

cbr

Constant Bit Rate Supports real-time applications requiring a

 

 

fixed amount of bandwidth. The applications

 

 

produce data at regular rates.

rtvbr

Real Time

Supports time-sensitive applications such as

 

Variable Bit Rate

voice. In these applications the rate at which

 

 

cells arrive are varied. But these cells need

 

 

to be delivered in a timely manner with

 

 

minimal delay.

nrtvbr

Non Real Time

Supports applications that have no

 

Variable Bit Rate

constraints on delay and delay variation, but

 

 

still have variable-rate and bursty traffic

 

 

characteristics. Applications include packet

 

 

data transfers, terminal sessions, and file

 

 

transfers.

ubr

Unspecified Bit

Best effort service that does not require

 

Rate

tightly

 

 

constrained delay and delay variation. UBR

 

 

provides

no specific quality of service or guaranteed throughput. The traffic is “at risk” because the network provides no performance guarantees for UBR traffic. The traffic descriptor is similar to IP’s “best effort” approach to traffic management.

<encaps> Specifies whether ATM Adaptation Layer is aal2 or aal5. For voice (not support by USR9003) connections, AAL2 must be specified. For data connections, AAL5 must be specified. -peak <value> Defines the fastest rate a user can send cells to the network. It is expressed in
