ATM PCR SCR MBS question

jamesellis

We have 2 ATM connected hub 3662 routers with RS8234 SAR ATM DS3 module, each with a PVC connecting remote sites using 2621 router with FRX over 384Kbps frac T-1.

Each PVC has 192 CIR and 384 burst. Running VOIP and will use LFI and FRTS. Do not want to exceed CIR at any time to prevent packet loss for voice.

Trying to do the math to determine the best value for PCR SCR and MBS. To restrict exceeding my CIR, research says to make SCR=PCR, but the formula to determine MBS is T = (burst cells x 424 bits per cell)/(PCR-SCR). Should my MBS be 0?

The frame relay research indicates Be should be 0. Do the MBS and Be paramaters operate similarly under these circumstances?

the way you have it configured is correct , when PCR is equal to SCR you will not be able to burst . you should remove the 16 it is ignoring that number

ATM has about 15-20% of the overhead than the Frame-relay side. So you usually config 15-20% more on the parameter for the ATM traffic shaping compare to the FRTS side.
