Bandwidth tabBandwidth tab
The BandwidthBandwidth tab page contains the following parameters:
CIRCIR
Allows you to specify the Committed Information Rate (CIR). When set to zero,
the CIR test is excluded. If color awareness is enabled (see below), this is the
bit rate for green frames.
EIREIR
Allows you to specify the Excess Information Rate (EIR). When set to zero, the
EIR test is excluded. If color awareness is enabled (see below), this is the bit
rate for yellow frames.
CIR plus EIR for a service must be greater than zero.
Traffic policingTraffic policing
Select this check box to enable the traffic policing test. When enabled, you can
specify a margin on the Service Acceptance CriteriaService Acceptance Criteria tab page and use that
margin for pass/fail evaluation during the service configuration test. The test
will fail if the throughput is greater than CIR + EIR + Margin.
CBSCBS
Allows you to specify the Committed Burst Size (CBS) in bytes. When set to
zero, the CBS test is excluded. If color awareness is enabled (see below), this is
the burst size for green frames.
The CBS test can only be executed if CIR is also greater than zero. Furthermore, it must
be possible to send at least twice the number of CBS bytes with CIR rate within the step
duration.
EBSEBS
Allows you to specify the Excess Burst Size (EBS) in bytes. When set to zero,
the EBS test is excluded. If color awareness is enabled (see below), this is the
burst size for yellow frames.
