NOTE: Service categories can be defined on the SDM-9230 only.<br />

Product Overview<br />

Four service categories have been defined in the <strong>ATM</strong> networking standard:<br />

• Constant Bit Rate (CBR), described in the next section<br />

• Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR), on See “Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR)” on page 12.<br />

• Real-Time Variable Bit Rate (RT-VBR), on See “Real-time Variable Bit Rate (RT-<br />

VBR)” on page 12.<br />

• Non-Real-Time Variable Bit Rate (NRT-VBR), on See “Non-real-time Variable<br />

Bit Rate (NRT-VBR)” on page 12..<br />

NOTE: Service categories govern the transmission of traffic from the NetPerformer to<br />

the <strong>ATM</strong> switch. They do not pertain to the NetPerformer transmitting via<br />

PVCR, <strong>ATM</strong> or other transport method to another NetPerformer.<br />

Constant Bit Rate (CBR)<br />

Figure 1-2: The Service Category Environment<br />

• A service for connections that require a static amount of bandwidth that is continuously<br />

available during the entire duration of the connection.<br />

• Should be selected for real-time applications that cannot work properly if there<br />

are large variations in the transmission delay, e.g. voice, video and circuit emulation.<br />

• The required amount of bandwidth is defined by the Peak cell rate parameter on<br />

the logical connection (PVC or SVC).<br />

• Once the connection is established, the network ensures the negotiated <strong>ATM</strong><br />

layer QoS to all cells. This means that the source unit is able to transmit cells at<br />

the PCR at any time and for any duration, with QoS commitments fully maintained.<br />
