Hi Joe,
To answer your question, you've got to also ask: what is the difference
between VBR-rt and nrt? Cisco is somewhat vague about this point so I had to
do a google search. Lots and lots of good info on ATM out there. The answer
seems to be this: VBR-rt and VBR-nrt is the almost the same algorithm, but
VBR-rt guarantees a minimum end-to-end delay (in ATM vocabulary, cell
transer delay) PCR, SCR, and MBS seem to be the same traffic shaping
variables between the two services. But for VBR-nrt, since cell delay is not
guaranteed by the network, traffic shaping works only for output traffic
(which I guess means ATM traffic shaping can work for both input and output
under VBR-rt, unlike FR)
