P-660H-T1v3s User’s Guide

a nailed-up connection. The first is that idle timeout is disabled. The second is that 
the P-660H-T1v3s will try to bring up the connection when turned on and 
whenever the connection is down. A nailed-up connection can be very expensive 
for obvious reasons. 
Do not specify a nailed-up connection unless your telephone company offers flat-
rate service or you need a constant connection and the cost is of no concern.
6.4.6  NAT
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP 
address of a host in a packet, for example, the source address of an outgoing 
packet, used within one network to a different IP address known within another 
network.
6.5  Traffic Shaping
Traffic Shaping is an agreement between the carrier and the subscriber to regulate 
the average rate and fluctuations of data transmission over an ATM network. This 
agreement helps eliminate congestion, which is important for transmission of real 
time data such as audio and video connections.
Peak Cell Rate (PCR) is the maximum rate at which the sender can send cells. This 
parameter may be lower (but not higher) than the maximum line speed. 1 ATM 
cell is 53 bytes (424 bits), so a maximum speed of 832Kbps gives a maximum 
PCR of 1962 cells/sec. This rate is not guaranteed because it is dependent on the 
line speed.
Sustained Cell Rate (SCR) is the mean cell rate of each bursty traffic source. It 
specifies the maximum average rate at which cells can be sent over the virtual 
connection. SCR may not be greater than the PCR.
Maximum Burst Size (MBS) is the maximum number of cells that can be sent at 
the PCR. After MBS is reached, cell rates fall below SCR until cell rate averages to 
the SCR again. At this time, more cells (up to the MBS) can be sent at the PCR 
again.
If the PCR, SCR or MBS is set to the default of "0", the system will assign a 
maximum value that correlates to your upstream line rate.
