Table B-3 illustrates what happens to CLP=0 and CLP=1 cells in different situations if 
you select this option. This example assumes you set the traffic parameters as follows:
• PCR of CLP=0+1 is 70,000 cells/sec 
• SCR of CLP=0 is 40,000 
• MBS of CLP=0 is 32 
All values in the table represent the measured traffic rate at a given point in time.

68,000 40,000 30 The switch does not drop any cells because the 
stream does not exceed traffic parameters.
70,000 40,000 60 The switch drops CLP=0 cells from the aggregate 
cell stream if the burst tolerance is exceeded. The 
number of cells that are dropped depends on the 
traffic pattern combination of sustained and burst 
cells. The larger the burst, the more cells are 
dropped.
70,000 50,000 30 The switch drops 10,000 CLP=0 CPS because 
CLP=0 exceeds the SCR. It may drop additional 
cells because the cell burst of 30 cells at PCR, 
combined with the sustained traffic, may exceed 
the burst tolerance.
77,000 40,000 60 The switch drops 7,000 CPS from the CLP=0+1 
stream because the stream exceeds the PCR. The 
number of CLP=0 and CLP=1 cells dropped 
depends on the ratio of CLP=0 to CLP=1 cells in 
the aggregate stream. In addition, the switch will 
drop some CLP=0 cells if they exceed the burst 
tolerance.
