This specifies the largest
burst of data above the insured rate that will be allowed temporarily on an
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) permanent virtual circuit (PVC), but will not
be dropped at the edge by the traffic policing function, even if it exceeds the
maximum rate. This amount of traffic will be allowed only temporarily. On
average, the traffic source needs to be within the maximum rate. Specified in
bytes or cells. Compare with insured burst. See also maximum
rate.
