<encaps> Specifies whether ATM Adaptation Layer is aal2 or aal5. For voice (not support by
USR9003) connections, AAL2 must be specified. For data connections, AAL5 must be specified.
-peak <value> Defines the fastest rate a user can send cells to the network. It is expressed in

Name Description
Constant Bit Rate Supports real-time applications requiring a
fixed amount of bandwidth. The applications
produce data at regular rates.
Real Time Supports time-sensitive applications such as
Variable Bit Rate voice. In these applications the rate at which
cells arrive are varied. But these cells need
to be delivered in a timely manner with
minimal delay.
Non Real Time Supports applications that have no
Variable Bit Rate constraints on delay and delay variation, but
still have variable-rate and bursty traffic
characteristics. Applications include packet
data transfers, terminal sessions, and file
transfers.
Unspecified Bit Best effort service that does not require
Rate tightly
constrained delay and delay variation. UBR
provides
no specific quality of service or guaranteed
throughput. The traffic is "at risk" because
the network provides no performance
guarantees for UBR traffic. The traffic
descriptor is similar to IP's "best effort"
approach to traffic management.
