ABC Compliance / Conformance

ABR connection conformance or compliance refers to the behavior specified for ATM Available Bit Rate (ABR) destination and switches, but allows for delays between the source and the UNI [UNI3.1, UNI4.0], which may perturb the traffic flow. The cells on an ABR connection applies to CLP=0 cells, which are tested upon arrival. At the arrival point, each cell is identified as conforming or non-conforming. The minimal conformance definition for ABR is GCRA((1/PCR),t1), where PCR is defined for CLP=0 flow.
