UBR Without PCR (Unspecified Bit Rate without Peak Cell Rate)—UBR service is
suitable for applications that can tolerate variable delays and some cell losses.
Applications suitable for UBR service include text/data/image transfer, messaging,
distribution, and retrieval and also for remote terminal applications such as
telecommuting.
UBR With PCR (Unspecified Bit Rate with Peak Cell Rate)
CBR (Constant Bit Rate)—used by applications that require a fixed data rate that is
continuously available during the connection time. It is commonly used for
uncompressed audio and video information such as videoconferencing, interactive
audio (telephony), audio / video distribution (e.g. television, distance learning, and pay-
per-view), and audio / video retrieval (e.g. video-on-demand and audio library).
Non Realtime VBR (Non-Real-time Variable Bit Rate)—can be used for data
transfers that have critical response-time requirements such as airline reservations,
banking transactions, and process monitoring.
Realtime VBR (Real-time Variable Bit Rate)—used by time-sensitive applications
such as real-time video. Rt-VBR service allows the network more flexibility than CBR.
