62 CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING THE ROUTER
8 Select the type of Quality of Service that you want from the QoS Class
drop-down menu.
■ CBR (constant bit rate): the CBR service class is intended for
real-time applications, for example, those requiring tightly
constrained delay and delay variation, such as voice and video
applications. The consistent availability of a fixed quantity of
bandwidth is considered appropriate for CBR service.
■ VBR (variable bit rate): QoS class defined by the ATM Forum for
ATM networks. VBR is subdivided into a real time (RT) class and
non-real time (NRT) class. VBR (RT) is used for connections in which
there is a fixed timing relationship between samples. VBR (NRT) is
used for connections in which there is no fixed timing relationship
between samples, but that still need a guaranteed QoS. Compare
with ABR, CBR, and UBR.
■ UBR (unspecified bit rate): the UBR service class is intended for
delay-tolerant or non-real-time applications, for example, those
which do not require tightly constrained delay and delay variation,
such as traditional computer communications applications. The
UBR service may be considered as "best effort service".
