PCR as the maximum value according to the line rate (for example, 2.3 Mbps 
line rate will result PCR as 5424 cell/sec.) 
12. What do ATM QoS Types (CBR, UBR, VBR-nRT, VBR-RT) mean? 
Constant bit rate(CBR): An ATM bandwidth-allocation service that requires 
the user to determine a fixed bandwidth requirement at the time the connection 
is set up so that the data can be sent in a steady stream. CBR service is often 
used when transmitting fixed-rate uncompressed video. 
Unspecified bit rate(UBR): An ATM bandwidth-allocation service that does 
not guarantee any throughput levels and uses only available bandwidth. UBR 
is often used when transmitting data that can tolerate delays, such as e-mail. 
Variable bit rate(VBR): An ATM bandwidth-allocation service that allows 
users to specify a throughput capacity (i.e., a peak rate) and a sustained rate 
but data is not sent evenly. You can select VBR for bursty traffic and 
bandwidth sharing with other applications. It contains two subclasses:   
Variable bit rate nonreal time (VBR-nRT) and Variable bit rate real time 
(VBR-RT). 
 
13. Why do we perform traffic shaping in the P-791R v2? 
The P-791R v2 must manage traffic fairly and provide bandwidth allocation for 
different sorts of applications, such as voice, video, and data. All applications 
have their own natural bit rate. Large data transactions have a fluctuating 
natural bit rate. The P-791R v2 is able to support variable traffic among 
different virtual connections. Certain traffic may be discarded if the virtual 
connection experiences congestion. Traffic shaping defines a set of actions 
taken by the P-791R v2 to avoid congestion; traffic shaping takes measures to 
adapt to unpredictable fluctuations in traffic flows and other problems among 
virtual connections. 
14. The P-791R v2 supports Bridge and Router mode, what's the 
difference between them? 
When the ISP limits some specific computers to access Internet, which means 
only the traffic to/from these computers will be forwarded and the other will be 
filtered. In this case, we use bridge mode which works as an DSL modem to 
connect to the ISP. The ISP will generally give one Internet account and limit 
only one computer to access the Internet. 
 
For most Internet users having multiple computers want to share an Internet 
account for Internet access, they have to add another Internet sharing device,
