ABR’s Source and Destination Behavior Definitions are each listed in the ATM
Forum’s TM 4.1 Specification. Refer to this specification for these definitions.
The state of each VCC is stored individually in its SEG VCC table entry. The
ABR parameters are stored in the SCH_STATE portion of the segmentation VCC
table entry. Due to the large number of ABR parameters, the SCH_STATE of
ABR VCCs requires an additional location in the SEG VCC table.
The ABR Templates reside in SAR-shared memory in a region referred to as the
ABR Instruction table. The ABR Instruction table contains one or more
templates. Individual VCCs are assigned to a single template. Each template
supports a group of VCCs. The key parameters contained in and controlled by the
ABR Templates are PCR, Initial Cell Rate (ICR), MCR, RIF, RDF, and Nrm.

giving either per-template or per-connection control of MCR and ICR. This
choice is globally set using the ADV_ABR_TEMPL bit in the SEG_CTRL

particular, the RM cell Explicit Rate field) to a Rate Decision table index. The
Exponent table is indexed by the Explicit Rate exponent. This mapping function
normalizes the ER field rate to the CI/NI state-based rate decision. Once
normalized, a rate can be chosen based on the minimum of the two rates.
