To set a new
Sustainable Cell Rate
or
Peak Cell Rate

in the bits/second (bps) column. The system automatically calculates the
cells/second (cps) based on the value you enter.
n
To set a new
Maximum Burst Size
shaper, enter the new value in the cells
column. The system automatically calculates the bits based on the value you
enter.
How you configure the input shapers depends on the type of service you have.

If you have a peak rate service:
n
Set the peak rate at the maximum allowable value.
n
Set the sustained cell rate at the same rate as the peak rate.
n
If you have a sustained rate service:
n
Set the peak rate at the line rate (for example 45Mbps for a DS3 line).
n
Set the sustained cell rate and maximum burst rate at the values given to
