This MIB is used for configuring/provisioning SPVCs on
the ATM interfaces. This is used for ATM switch
connection management.
Terminologies used:
GCRA - The Generic Cell Rate Algorithm(GCRA) is used to
define comformance with repect to the traffic
contract.For each cell arrival, the GCRA determines
whether the cell conforms to the traffic contract
of the connection.
PCR - The Peak Cell Rate(PCR) traffic parameter specifies
an upper bound on the rate at which traffic can
be submitted on an ATM connection.
SCR - Sustained Cell Rate.
MBS - Maximum Burst Size.
MCR - Minimum Cell Rate is the rate at which the source
is always allowed to send.
ACR - Allowed Cell Rate is the current rate at which
a source is allowed to send.
RDF - Rate Decrease Factor controls the decrease in the
cell transmission rate
CRM - Missing RM-cell count. CRM limits the number of
forward RM-cells which may be sent in the absence
of received backward RM-cells.
CDF - The Cutoff Decrease Factor controls the decrease
in ACR assoicated with the CRM.
CDVT - Cell Delay Transfer Variation Tolerance
CBR - The Constant Bit Rate(CBR) service category is used
by connections that request a static amount of
bandwidth that is continuously available during the
connection lifetime. This amount of bandwidth is
characterized by a PCR value.
rt-VBR - The real-time Variable Bit Rate(rt-VBR) service
category is intended for real-time applications,
i.e.,those requiring tightly constrainded delay
and delay variation, as would be appropriate for
voice and video applications.The rt-VBR connections
are characterized in terms of a PCR, SCR and MBS.
nrt-VBR - The non-real-time Variable Bit Rate(nrt-VBR)
service category is intended for non-real-time
applications which have bursty traffic
characteristics. The nrt-VBR is characterized
in terms of a PCR,SCR and MBS.
UBR - The Unspecified Bit Rate(UBR) service category is
intended for non-real-time applications,i.e.,those
not requiring tightly constrained delay and delay
variation. The UBR service does not specify traffic
related service gurantees. The UBR service is
indicated by use of the Best Effort Indicator in
ATM User Cell Rate Information element.
ABR - The Available Bit Rate(ABR) is an ATM layer
service category for which the limiting ATM layer
transfer characteristics provided by the network
may change subsequent to connection establishment.
CAC - The Connection Admission Control(CAC) function is
defined as the set of actions taken by the network
at SVC establishment or by network management during
PVC establishment in order to determine whether
a connection can be progressed or should be rejected.
UPC - Usage Parameter Control(UPC) is defined as the set
of actions taken by the network to monitor and
control traffic.
