nrt-VBR (non-real-time Variable Bit Rate) is commonly used for “bursty” traffic typical on

LANs. PCR and MBS define the burst levels, SCR defines the minimum level. An example

application is multimedia e-mail.

Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR) does not guarantee bandwidth or throughput. Cells are dropped if

there is not enough bandwidth. Only the PCR is set. An example application is background file

transfer.

Interleave Delay

Interleave delay is the wait (in milliseconds) that determines the size of a single block of data

to be interleaved (assembled) and then transmitted. Interleave delay is used when transmission

error correction (Reed- Solomon) is necessary due to a less than ideal telephone line. The

bigger the delay, the bigger the data block size, allowing better error correction to be

performed. This may sometimes be referred to as a “slow channel”.

An interleave delay of “0” means no interleaving takes place and transmission is faster (a “fast

channel”). This would be suitable if you have a good line where little error correction is

necessary.

Reed-Solomon codes are block-based error correcting codes with a wide range of applications.

The Reed-Solomon encoder takes a block of digital data and adds extra "redundant" bits. The

Reed-Solomon decoder processes each block and attempts to correct errors and recover the

original data.

32.5

SNR (Signal-to-Noise-Ratio)

The Prestige uses SNR(Signal-to-Noise-Ratio) to determine line quality. SNR is the ratio of

the amplitude of the actual signal to the amplitude of noise signals at a given point in time. A

slow SNR indicates poor line quality. When SNR (upstream or downstream) falls below a pre-

determined threshold, the Prestige then uses rate adaptation.
