mscAtmIfVptTmAbrRateIncreaseFactor 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.114.9.9.2.110.1.14

This attribute indicates the Rate Increase Factor (RIF) for this connection. The RIF 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 6, RIF is 2E-6 = 1/64. RIF controls the amount by which the cell transmission rate may increase upon receipt of a backward Resource Management (RM) cell. For example, if a backward RM cell is received with the Congestion Indication (CI) and the No Increase (NI) fields both set to 0, the Allowed Cell Rate (ACR) value would be increased by the amount (RIF*ACR). The ACR is not allowed to exceed the Peak Cell Rate (PCR), in which case the ACR is set to PCR. For nailed-up connections, this attribute is determined by the provisioned value of the rateIncreaseFactor attribute. For signalled connections, it is indicated in the ABR Setup Parameters Information Element.
