Chapter 5 Broadband The following figure illustrates the relationship between PCR, SCR and MBS. Figure 21 Example of Traffic Shaping ATM Traffic Classes These are the basic ATM traffic classes defined by the ATM Forum Traffic Management 4.0 Specification. Constant Bit Rate (CBR) Constant Bit Rate (CBR) provides fixed bandwidth that is always available even if no data is being sent. CBR traffic is generally time-sensitive (doesn't tolerate delay). CBR is used for connections that continuously require a specific amount of bandwidth. A PCR is specified and if traffic exceeds this rate, cells may be dropped. Examples of connections that need CBR would be high-resolution video and voice. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) The Variable Bit Rate (VBR) ATM traffic class is used with bursty connections. Connections that use the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) traffic class can be grouped into real time (VBR-RT) or non-real time (VBR-nRT) connections. The VBR-RT (real-time Variable Bit Rate) type is used with bursty connections that require closely controlled delay and delay variation. It also provides a fixed amount of bandwidth (a PCR is specified) but is only available when data is being sent. An example of an VBR-RT connection would be video conferencing. Video conferencing requires real-time data transfers and the bandwidth requirement varies in proportion to the video image's changing dynamics. The VBR-nRT (non real-time Variable Bit Rate) type is used with bursty connections that do not require closely controlled delay and delay variation. It is commonly used for "bursty" traffic typical on LANs. PCR and MBS define the burst levels, SCR defines the minimum level. An example of an VBR-nRT connection would be non-time sensitive data file transfers. P-661HNU-Fx User's Guide 107

ATM Traffic Classes

These are the basic ATM traffic classes defined by the ATM Forum Traffic

Management 4.0 Specification.

Constant Bit Rate (CBR)

Constant Bit Rate (CBR) provides fixed bandwidth that is always available even if

no data is being sent. CBR traffic is generally time-sensitive (doesn't tolerate

delay). CBR is used for connections that continuously require a specific amount of

bandwidth. A PCR is specified and if traffic exceeds this rate, cells may be

dropped. Examples of connections that need CBR would be high-resolution video

and voice.

Variable Bit Rate (VBR)

The Variable Bit Rate (VBR) ATM traffic class is used with bursty connections.

Connections that use the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) traffic class can be grouped into

real time (VBR-RT) or non-real time (VBR-nRT) connections.

The VBR-RT (real-time Variable Bit Rate) type is used with bursty connections that

require closely controlled delay and delay variation. It also provides a fixed

amount of bandwidth (a PCR is specified) but is only available when data is being

sent. An example of an VBR-RT connection would be video conferencing. Video

conferencing requires real-time data transfers and the bandwidth requirement

varies in proportion to the video image's changing dynamics.

The VBR-nRT (non real-time Variable Bit Rate) type is used with bursty

connections that do not require closely controlled delay and delay variation. It is

commonly used for "bursty" traffic typical on LANs. PCR and MBS define the burst

levels, SCR defines the minimum level. An example of an VBR-nRT connection

would be non-time sensitive data file transfers.
