2.8.17  ATM Traffic Management
– Three Ethernet CoS are foreseen for ATM PW flows, derived from ATM Service Category configured 
for the related VP/VC at ATM layer (by ATM Traffic Descriptor):
•CBR
• UBR+ (MDCR > 0)
•UBR
– By proper mapping of these CoSs to Core Switch and Modem Switch (refer to Figure 93.), the native 
ATM QoS can be emulated.
– ATM PW flow-based packet queueing is performed inside the ASAP unit, its Ethernet flow CIR/PIR/
MBS/EBS parameters are also derived from configured ATM TD.
– ATM PW flows that have been classified as CBR and UBR+ will be subjected to admission control 
and then have guaranteed bandwidth; the required bandwidth will be derived from Ethernet flow CIR, 
taking in account the ATM PW encapsulation and air frame structure.
