General Vc Interface Dlci Sp Committed Information Rate

This attribute specifies the committed information rate (cir) in bits per second (bit/s). When rateEnforcement is set to on, cir is the rate at which the network agrees to transfer information under normal conditions. This rate is measured over a measurement interval (t) that is determined internally based on cir and the committed burst size (bc). An exception to this occurs when cir is provisioned to be zero, in which case the measurement interval (t) must be provisioned explicitly. This attribute is ignored when rateEnforcement is off. If rateEnforcement is on and this attribute is 0, bc must also be 0.
