5.3.1  ATM Traffic Classes
These are the basic ATM traffic classes defined by the ATM Forum Traffic Management 4.0 
Specification. 
5.3.1.1  Constant Bit Rate (CBR)
Constant Bit Rate (CBR) provides fixed bandwidth that is always available even if no data is 
being sent. CBR traffic is generally time-sensitive (doesn't tolerate delay). CBR is used for 
connections that continuously require a specific amount of bandwidth. A PCR is specified and 
if traffic exceeds this rate, cells may be dropped. Examples of connections that need CBR 
would be high-resolution video and voice.
5.3.1.2  Variable Bit Rate (VBR) 
The Variable Bit Rate (VBR) ATM traffic class is used with bursty connections. Connections 
that use the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) traffic class can be grouped into real time (VBR-RT) or 
non-real time (VBR-nRT) connections. 
The VBR-RT (real-time Variable Bit Rate) type is used with bursty connections that require 
closely controlled delay and delay variation. It also provides a fixed amount of bandwidth (a 
PCR is specified) but is only available when data is being sent. An example of an VBR-RT 
connection would be video conferencing. Video conferencing requires real-time data transfers 
and the bandwidth requirement varies in proportion to the video image's changing dynamics. 
The VBR-nRT (non real-time Variable Bit Rate) type is used with bursty connections that do 
not require closely controlled delay and delay variation. It is commonly used for "bursty" 
traffic typical on LANs. PCR and MBS define the burst levels, SCR defines the minimum 
level. An example of an VBR-nRT connection would be non-time sensitive data file transfers.
5.3.1.3  Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR)
The Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR) ATM traffic class is for bursty data transfers. However, UBR 
doesn't guarantee any bandwidth and only delivers traffic when the network has spare 
bandwidth. An example application is background file transfer.
5.4  Zero Configuration Internet Access
Once you turn on and connect the ZyXEL Device to a telephone jack, it automatically detects 
the Internet connection settings (such as the VCI/VPI numbers and the encapsulation method) 
from the ISP and makes the necessary configuration changes. In cases where additional 
account information (such as an Internet account user name and password) is required or the 
ZyXEL Device cannot connect to the ISP, you will be redirected to web screen(s) for 
information input or troubleshooting.
Zero configuration for Internet access is disable when
