ATM Traffic Descriptor Profiles

Traffic descriptor profiles capture the cell arrival pattern for resource allocation. Source traffic descriptors for an ATM connection include at least one of the following:

• Sustained Information Rate (SIR)

• Peak Information Rate (PIR)

• Minimum Information Rate (MIR)

• Maximum Burst Size (MBS)

QoS traffic descriptor profiles are applied on ATM VLL (Apipe) SAPs.
