1 = VBR.1
2 = VBR.2
3 = VBR.3
4 = PCR policing only
5 = policing off
Note: BW allocation = (PCR)x(%Util)
For rt-VBR, trunk cell routing

is automatically restricted to
include only ATM trunks

Available Bit Rate Connections
The ABR (available bit rate) category utilizes a congestion flow control mechanism to control
congestion during busy periods and to take advantage of available bandwidth during less busy periods.
The congestion flow control mechanism provides feedback to control the connections flow rate through
the network in response to network bandwidth availability.
