Input queuing

Separate non-blocking queues for CBR and rt-VBR versus nrt-VBR

Maximum burst size/burst tolerance

32, 105, 210, or maximum cells

Output queuing

Separate queues for CBR and rt-VBR versus nrt-VBR, with traffic and congestion management cpabilities

Peak emission rate

User configurable Per port, in CPS, from 0 to nominal maximum bandwidth

Rate control

MAR and SCR rate control for CLP0+1, per VC

Statistics Collection
Statistics collected per port

Number of valid cells

Number of cells discarded for HEC errors

Number of cells discarded for SCR violation

Number of cells discarded for congestion

Number of cells discarded for invalid connection identification
