| Description | The file ID of the Service Class Template(SCT) file. The SCT
holds the connection specific parameters for this module in
the ingress direction(From Network to the Switch).
Terminologies used:
SCT : Service Class Template
The Service Class Template ( or Service Template or SCT )
provides a means for inferring extended parameters, which
are generally platform-specific, from the set of standard
ATM protocol parameters passed in VSI(Virtual Switch Interface)
connection setup primitives. A set of Service Templates are
available in a non-volatile storage and is downloaded onto
each Service Module on power up.
In general, SCTs contain two classes of data. One class consists
of parameters necessary to establish a Virtual Connection
(i.e. Per-VC) and includes entries such as UPC(Usage Parameter Control)
actions, various bandwidth-related items, per-VC thresholds,
and some hardware-specific items.The second class of data items
includes those necessary to configure the associated
Class-of-Service Buffers that provide the QoS support. |
