RM-CLR: RM-Cell Loss Ratio

RM-Cell Loss Ratio (RM-CLR) is the ratio of lost RM-cells in a transmission in relation to the total RM-cells sent in a transmission associated with a given traffic load, orientation and distribution, as well as an integration period. In other words,RM-CLR = Lost RM-Cells / Total RM-Cells Transmitted.

The smaller the RM-CLR value in an ATM network, the better. RM-CLR effects the time required to notify the source of a change in the condition of the network. This in turn effects TCP round trip time calculations. Large values of RM-CLR will adversely effect TCP throughput and cause SAR timeout.
