Description
Defines the Peak Cell Rate (PCR) in cells per second. The maximum rate at which
a connection can transmit.
Defines the Cell Delay Variation Tolerance (CDVT) in usec. The time scale is
established over which the PCR is policed. The time scale is set to allow for jitter
(CDV) that is introduced, for example, by upstream nodes.
Defines the Maximum Burst Size (MBS) in cells. The maximum number of cells
can burst at the PCR but still be compliant. This is used to determine the Burst
Tolerance (BT,) which controls the time scale over which the Sustained Cell Rate
(SCR) is policed.
Defines the Minimum Cell Rate (MCR) in cells per second. The minimum cell is
rated to contract delivery by the network.
Description
Specifies the Cell Delay Variation (CDV) that determines the measure for the cell
jitter introduced by network elements.
Specifies the Maximum Cell Transfer Delay (Max CTD) that determines the
maximum delay incurred by a cell, such as propagation and buffering delays.
Specifies the Cell Loss ratio (CLR) that determines the percentage of lost
transmitted cells.
