Feature Descriptions MDM6000 Satellite Modem
Parameter Description
Node Name Enter the shaping node name.
Enable This must be enabled (On), otherwise the node is not recognized and the
data cannot be encapsulated.
Parent Node
Name
The Root node is the top node of the shaping tree.
The Root node represents the overall available bandwidth.
The parent node name of the first shaping node must always
be Root!
Other nodes can have another parent node (when this node is
defined in the device!)
CIR Enter the Committed Information Rate for this Shaping Node.
PIR Enter the Peak Information Rate for this Shaping Node.
Channel Name Enter the corresponding channel name where the traffic must be sent to.
One channel can have several nodes and shaping rules.
Note: The channel names must match with a channel name configured
under channels, refer to the previous section
BBFEncapsulationChannelsonpage232.
Priority Enter a priority for this shaping Node.
Use this setting to prioritize the shaped traffic (for example: voice= 5,
video=10)
(The lower the value that is entered, the higher the priority.)
Max Queue
time
Define a queue time per shaping node.
This is a buffer based on the FIFO (First In First Out) principle. The buffer
provides the possibility to store an amount of data in a shaping node. When
the queue time is exceeded, data will be dropped.
Shaping Unit Select the shaping unit.
• Bitrate: This is commonly used as it guarantees the bitrate that can be
received by the terminals.
The disadvantage of this way of working is that optimal pointing is not
encouraged and due to that the available bandwidth is not always
optimally used.
• Symbol rate: This can be used when more than one service provider
makes use of the transponder bandwidth. In this case it is possible to
divide (shape) the bandwidth amongst the operators as agreed.
This way of working encourages the service provider to perform optimal
pointing of its terminals. This to obtain an optimal usage of its available
bandwidth.
