Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Committed Information Rate (CIR) is the guaranteed minimum transmission rate for a dedicated line. This means that the ISP has committed to providing at least 1.54 Mbps of bandwidth for the duration of the contract. Burst network traffic may exceed this rate temporarily, but the CIR ensures that the line will not drop below 1.54 Mbps. The use of frame relay is not mentioned and therefore not relevant to the question.
