29.5.2.1 RM Cell Rate Representation
Rates in the RM cells are represented in a binary ßoating-point format using a 5-bit
exponent (e), a 9-bit mantissa (m), and a 1-bit nonzero ßag (nz), as shown in Figure 29-15.
Figure 29-15. Rate Format for RM Cells
The rate (in cells/second) is calculated as in Figure 29-16.
Figure 29-16. Rate Formula for RM Cells
Initialize the trafÞc parameters (ER, MCR, PCR, or ICR) in the ABR protocol-speciÞc
connection tables using the rate formula in Figure 29-16.

DIR 7 0 Direction of RM cell (0 = forward, 1 = backward)
BN 7 1 Backward notiÞcation (BN = 0, the cell was generated by the
source; BN=1, the cell was generated by the network or by the
destination)
