The CBR service category requires guaranteed transmission rates, and
constrained CDV. The CN8236 facilitates these needs when generating CBR
traffic by pre-assigning specific schedule slots to CBR VCCs. For each
CBR-assigned cell slot, the CN8236 generates a cell for that specific VCC unless
data is not available. The CN8236 also minimizes CDV by basing all traffic
management on a local reference clock.
CBR channel to the rate of its data source. To accomplish this rate-matching, the
host can occasionally instruct the xBR Scheduler to skip one transmit opportunity
on a channel.
However, instead of one VCC, several UBR, VBR, or ABR VCCs can be
scheduled within this CBR tunnel, in round-robin order.
of other service categories by the xBR Scheduler.
The CN8236 takes advantage of the asynchronous nature of ATM by reserving
bandwidth for VBR channels at average cell transmission rates without
pre-assigning hardcoded schedule slots, as with CBR traffic. This dynamic
scheduling allows VBR traffic to be statistically multiplexed onto the ATM line,
resulting in better utilization of the shared bandwidth resources. The xBR
Scheduler supports multiple priority levels for VBR traffic. Through the
combination of VBR parameters and priorities, it is possible to support real-time
VBR services.
GCRA algorithm. The GCRA I and L parameters control the per-VCC Peak Cell
Rate (PCR) and Cell Delay Variation Tolerance (CDVT) of the outgoing cell
stream on any channel. This guarantees compliance to policing algorithms
applied at the network ingress point. The user can control the granularity of rate
by dictating the number of schedule slots in the schedule table.
