FCP Discard 
(Fwd/Rev)
Displays only if you selected a QoS class that supports FCP 
Discard. Select one of the following options: 
CLP1 
– (default) You can provision selective CLP1 discard for 
UBR, ABR, and VBR-NRT PVCs. If the current cell causes the 
queue for a PVC to exceed the discard thresholds, and the cell has 
CLP set to 1, the cell is discarded. Note that EPD is not performed 
in this case.
EPD 
– The ATM FCP can perform EPD for UBR, ABR, and 
VBR-NRT PVCs. If you select this option, then when a cell causes 
the queue for a PVC to exceed the discard thresholds, the VC enters 
the EPD state. The cells in the current packet of the VC are 
admitted to the queue. However, when the end of the current packet 
is detected, all of the cells in the next packet are discarded for that 
PVC.
See “ATM FCP Discard Mechanisms” on page 5-18 for details.
Note: While the FCP Discard attribute is only applicable to a CBX 
500 with an FCP, this attribute is offered as a selection on non-CBX 
endpoints. This is because even though one or both endpoints may 
not be on a CBX with FCP, the PVC might traverse a CBX 500 FCP 
trunk. In this case, the provisioned attribute is used.
Bandwidth Priority
(0-15)
Specify a value from zero (0) through 15, where zero (0) is the 
default and indicates the highest priority. 
See Appendix E, “Priority Routing,” for more information.
CDV Tolerance 
(1-65535) 
(microsec)
(PVCs with 
CBX/GX and 
1-port 
ATM CS DS3/E3, 
1-port ATM IWU 
OC-3c/STM-1, 
and 12-port T1/E1 
module endpoints 
only)
Enter a value between 1 - 65535 µsec to define the CDVT. The 
UPC uses this value to police the requested TD. A lower CDVT 
value results in a more stringent enforcement of the TD, while a 
larger CDVT results in a less stringent enforcement. The default is 
600 µsec.
For more information, see the ATM Forum User-Network Interface 
(UNI) Specification (section 3).
Reroute Balancing When the check box is selected (default), the PVC conforms to the 
configured reroute tuning parameters. This means that when the 
PVC reroutes during trunk failure, it will migrate back to its 
original trunk at a rate and time determined by the configured 
reroute tuning parameters. When the check box is cleared, the PVC 
ignores the switch tuning parameters.
