5.5.1.2 Service Attributes
Bandwidth Profile Parameters
The Bandwidth Profile specifies how much traffic the customer is authorized to transmit and how the frames are prioritized within the
network. In the Bandwidth table, the user specifies the following bandwidth criteria:
CIR:
Committed Information Rate. This is the guaranteed maximum rate at which the customer can send frames that are
assured to be forwarded through the network without being dropped. Tap on the box to enter a rate and choose between
IR
Mbps
or
ULR Mbps
. Allowed values range from 0.01Mbps to the line bandwidth.
Information Rate (IR):
Measures the average Ethernet frame rate starting at the MAC address field and ending at the
CRC.
Utilized Line Rate (ULR):
Measures the average Ethernet frame rate starting with the overhead and ending at the
CRC.

Excess Information Rate (EIR):
Maximum rate above the CIR at which the customer can send frames that will be forwarded
on a best effort basis, but may be dropped in the event of congestion within the network. The combined CIR and EIR must
not exceed the line bandwidth. Traffic beyond CIR + EIR will be dropped when it enters the carrier's network. Tap on the
box
to enter a rate. EIR is expressed in terms
IR Mbps
or
ULR Mbps
. Select a term to express EIR or select
Disable
to disable
the test.
Traf. Policing:
Enable or Disable the traffic policing test. For this test, traffic is transmitted at 25% higher than the CIR+EIR.
