This attribute is applicable and is displayed only for connections for
which the operational Tm abrConnectionType is displayed as
sourceDest, virtualSourceDest or explicitRate.
This attribute indicates the values of key fields which affect the rate
change. These fields are from the most recent Backward Resource
Management (B-RM) cell on this connection. These fields may have
been set by a connection point at some switch prior to the B-RM
cell arriving at this connection point.
A value of ci indicates that the Congestion Indication (CI) field is
set in the B-RM cell. A value of ni indicates that the No Increase
(NI) field is set in the B-RM cell. A value of er indicates that a rate
decrease is indicated by the Explicit Rate in the B-RM cell having a
value lower than the Current Cell Rate (CCR) field in the B-RM
cell. The actual explicit rate from the B-RM cell is shown in the
brmEr attribute of this component.
