Service Category:
UBR Without PCR
Five classes of trafc are listed below:
(Unspecied Bit Rate without Peak Cell Rate): UBR
service is suitable for applications that can tolerate variable delays and some
cell losses. Applications suitable for UBR service include text/data/image
transfer, messaging, distribution, and retrieval and also for remote terminal applications such as telecommuting.
UBR With PCR
(Unspecied Bit Rate with Peak Cell Rate): The amount of
bandwidth is characterized by a Peak Cell Rate (PCR). UBR with PCR is
connections that transport variable bit rate trafc for which there is no reliance
on time synchronization between the trafc source and destination and under
the Peak Cell Rate.
(Constant Bit Rate): Used by applications that require a xed data
CBR
rate that is continuously available during the connection time. It is commonly
used for uncompressed audio and video information such as video conferencing, interactive audio (telephony), audio/video distribution
such as television, distance learning, and pay-per-view, and audio/video
retrieval such as video-on-demand and audio library.
Non Realtime VBR
(Non-Real-time Variable Bit Rate): Can be used for data
transfers that have critical response-time requirements such as airline reservations, banking transactions, and process monitoring.
Realtime VBR
(Realtime Variable Bit Rate): Used by time-sensitive applications such as real-time video. Rt-VBR service allows the network
more exibility than CBR.
