ATM Connection Configuration
The ABR service is not restricted by bounding delay or delay variation and is not intended to support
real-time connections. ABR is characterized by PCR and MCR.
The term ABR is used to specify one of the following:
• ABR standard without VSVD (This is ABR standard without congestion flow control.)
ABR standard with VSVD. (This is ABR standard with congestion flow control as specified by the
•
ATM Traffic Management, Version 4.0)
• ABR with ForeSight congestion control
Policing for ABR connections is the same as for VBR connections which are summarized in Table 21-9.
The ABR connections are configured as either ABR Standard (ABRSTD) connections or as ABR
ForeSight (ABRFST) connections.
The parameters for an ABRSTD connection are shown in Figure 21-8 in the sequence in which they
occur during the execution of the addcon command.
The ABRSTD connection supports all the features of ATM Standards Traffic Management 4.0 including
VSVD congestion flow control.
VSVD and flow control with external segments are shown in Figure 21-9.
