mscAtmIfVccTmAbrRateDecreaseFactor 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.114.5.7.2.110.1.13

This attribute indicates the Rate Decrease Factor (RDF) for this connection. The RDF value is computed by using the operational value of this attribute, n, as 2 to the inverse power n. For example, if the value of this attribute is 8, RDF is 2E-8 = 1/256. RDF controls the amount by which the cell transmission rate may decrease upon receipt of a backward Resource Management (RM) cell. For example, if a backward RM cell is received with the Congestion Indication (CI) field set to 1, the Allowed Cell Rate (ACR) value would be reduced by the amount (RDF*ACR). The ACR is not allowed to fall below the Minimum Cell Rate (MCR), in which case the ACR is set to MCR. For nailed-up connections, this attribute is determined by the provisioned value of the rateDecreaseFactor attribute. For signalled connections, it is indicated in the ABR Setup Parameters Information Element.
