30.5.2.1 RM Cell Rate Representation
Rates in the RM cells are represented in a binary floating-point format using a 5-bit exponent (e), a 9-bit
mantissa (m), and a 1-bit nonzero flag (nz), as shown in
Figure 30-15 .
The rate (in cells/second) is calculated as in Figure 30-16 .
Figure 30-16. Rate Formula for RM Cells
Initialize the traffic parameters (ER, MCR, PCR, or ICR) in the ABR protocol-specific connection tables
using the rate formula in
Figure 30-16 .
