conditions and settings is used.

What is it for

The MIR setting limits the throughput for Ethernet service. It does not affect the capacity of
TDM services.
If the Link Budget Calculator or air conditions limit the capacity to X Mbps, and suppose that
you use Y (< X) Mbps for TDM services, then you are left with X - Y=Z Mbps for Ethernet.
Suppose for example, that Z = 20 Mbps.
As a Service Provider, you can decide to sell a package based on 10Mbps and charge $P1 for
it, or 15 Mbps for $P2 > $P1.
The MIR setting allows you do this.
The default value is "best effort" which will give Z above.
The minimum value is 64 Mbps.
The maximum value will be the minimum between Z above and -
Note
The MIR setting is independent per direction.
