Parameters
Example
The following command example requests a speed of 512 kilobits/second. However,
512 is not one of the discrete speed values allowed, so the next lower value, 500
kilobits/second, is set, as indicated by the message.
Response
The following is a typical response from a request for the current speed.
remote setatmtraffic
Sets ATM traffic-shaping on a remote router. ATM traffic-shaping allows the user to
set the average rate at which cells are sent, that is, the Sustained Cell Rate (SCR), to
a value lower than the ATM link speed, the Peak Cell Rate (PCR).
ATM traffic-shaping should be used to allocate bandwidth whenever more than one
remote router is defined. Enter a remote setATMTraffic command for each remote.
For example, if you have five remotes, enter five commands to allocate the
bandwidth.
If no ATM traffic values are set, ATM traffic for the remote is shaped using UBR
(unspecified bit rate).
If a CBR (constant bit rate) is required, then specify 1 as the Maximum Burst Size
(MBS). If a VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is required, specify a value greater than 1 as the
Maximum Burst Size (MBS).
