Configuring Frame Relay to ATM Resource Management
You can also use the following generic formula to calculate Frame Relay to ATM traffic conversion:
•
PCR = Peak Cell Rate (cells/sec)
•
SCR = Sustained Cell Rate (cells/sec)
•
MBS = Maximum Burst Size (cells)
•
Bc = Committed Burst size (bits)
•
Be = Excess Burst Size (bits)
•
CIR = Committed Information Rate (bits/sec),
•
PIR = Peak Information Rate (bits/sec),
•
OHB(n)= Overhead Factor for frame-size(n)
•
h1 = Frame Relay Header Size (octets), 2-octet
•
h2 = AAL Type 5 PDU Trailer Size (8 octets)
•
n = configured frame size
–
OHB(n) = [((n+h1+h2)/48) / n ]
where
((n+h1+h2)/48) value is to be rounded to the nearest integer
–
Peak Cell Rate (PCR) (0+1) (Cells Per Second)(0+1) (Cells Per Second) = PIR/8 [OHB (n)]
–
Sustainable Cell Rate (SCR) (0) (Cells Per Second) = CIR/8 [OHB (n)]
–
Maximum Burst Size (MBS)(0) (Cells) = [Bc/8 ( 1/(1 –(CIR/PIR))) + 1 ] [OHB (n)]
Example
Using the following values and example generic formula, MBS equals 47 cells:
•
CIR=32000
•
PIR=64000
•
Bc=4000
•
frame-size=64bytes
OHB(n) = [((n+h1+h2)/48) / n ] = [((64 + 2 + 8) / 48) / 64]
= (74/48) / 64
= 1.541 / 64
ROUNDING 1.541 TO 2
OHB(64) = 2/64
PCR = PIR/8 [OHB (n)] = 64000/8 [2/64]
= 250
Converting Cells/sec to Kbps
= 250 * 424 / 1000
PCR = 106 kbps
SCR = CIR/8 [OHB (n)] = 32000/8 [2/64]
= 125
Converting Cells/sec to Kbps
= 125 * 424 / 1000
SCR = 53 kbps
