11.3 Configured Versus Actual ADSL Rates

You configure the maximum rate of an individual ADSL port by modifying its profile (see the
set profile command) or assigning the port to a different profile (see the set port command).
However, due to noise and other factors on the line, the actual rate may not reach the
maximum that you specify.
Even though you can specify arbitrary numbers in the set profile command, the actual rate is
always a multiple of 32 Kbps for the G.dmt, ANSI T1.413 and G.lite ADSL standards or a
multiple of 4 Kbps for the ADSL2 and ADSL2+ standards.
With the G.dmt, ANSI T1.413 and G.lite ADSL standards, if you enter a rate that is not a
multiple of 32 Kbps, the actual rate will be the next lower multiple of 32 Kbps. For instance, if
you specify 60 Kbps for a port, the actual rate for that port will not exceed 32 Kbps, and if you
specify 66 Kbps, the actual rate will not be over 64 Kbps.
With the ADSL2 and ADSL2+ standards, if you enter a rate that is not a multiple of 4 Kbps,
the actual rate will be the next lower multiple of 4 Kbps. For instance, if you specify 67 Kbps
for a port, the actual rate for that port will not exceed 64 Kbps, and if you specify 69 Kbps, the
actual rate will not be over 68 Kbps.
Note that when you configure an ADSL port, the upstream rate must be less than or equal to
the downstream rate. Note also that the list port command displays the configured parameters
of the ADSL port, while the show port command displays the actual rates.
