This generally refers to a frame relay network and the guaranteed bandwidth/speed that Verizon (Bell Atlantic) will provide over a PVC.
committed information range
Credit Information Reports
The minimum amount of bandwidth that is guaranteed by the service provider to be available on a leased line at the customer demarcation point. The CIR is contrasted with the burst rate, which is the maximum bandwidth available. A leased wireless loop with a 1.5 Mbps CIR is engineered to provide 1.5 Mbps of bandwidth. MultiMeg guarantees that this rate will be available to you at least 95% of the day: 24/7–365. (See the Service Level Agreement for details.) Back
guaranteed throughput on data transmission connection
A term used in Frame Relay, which defines the information rate that the network is committed to provide to the user, under any network conditions.
committed information rate. The average rate of information transfer a subscriber (for example, the network administrator) has stipulated for a Frame Relay PVC.
Command instrument rating
Committed Information Rate. Represents the minimum transmission speed of data transmitted over a broadband network.
In frame relay networks, a CIR (Committed Information Rate) is a bandwidth (expressed in bits per second) associated with a logical connection in a Permanent Virtual Circuit (Permanent Virtual Circuit). Frame relay networks are digital networks in which different logical connections share the same physical path and some logical connections are given higher bandwidths than others.
Committed Information Rate - The bandwidth (measured in bits per second) guaranteed by the DirecPC system to a service provider. It's possible that additional traffic may also be delivered, but it's not guaranteed.
(Committed Information Rate) – The minimum speed of the connection, most commonly used in frame relay circuits. See also MIR.
Committed Information Rate. The maximum data rate that a Frame Relay network provider guarantees to transfer under normal network conditions, averaged over a minimum increment of time. CIR is either equal to or less than the full port speed. Measured in bits per second, CIR one of the key negotiated cost factors in setting up a Frame Relay connection. Also see EIR.
committed information rate. Guaranteed traffic rate. This rate is guaranteed as long as the rate of input is less that the CIR.
Committed Information Rate. The guaranteed bandwidth available over the virtual circuit. If the network has spare bandwidth, devices can burst above the CIR.
A "Customer Inquiry Response†is a fax or e-mail sent by CIBT to the customer containing information in response to the customerâ€(tm)s inquiry.
Committed Information Rate. CIR is used in conjunction with a circuit definition and is the level of bandwidth that is guaranteed to be available at all times.
Committed Information Rate In a frame relay network, each PVC is assigned a Committed Information Rate, measured in bits per second. The CIR represents the average capacity that the Port Connection should allocate to the PVC. This rate should be consistent with the expected average traffic volume between the two sites that the PVC connects. The CIR that is assigned to a PVC cannot exceed the speed of either the originating or terminating Port Connection.
Committed Information Rate. The amount of bandwidth that is guaranteed by the service provider in a Frame Relay network.
Comparable Interest Rate. The interest earnings rate that would be required on an outside investment or savings account to match a whole life insurance policy's total cash value, after a specific duration of time, in order to "buy term and invest the difference." The calculation involves adjusting the amount of term insurance, each year, so that the combination of the term insurance and the savings account equals the total death benefit on a whole life plan.
Committed Information Rate. you can buy virtual circuits with a guaranteed CIR. Your provider guarantees that this rate will be available as needed. Common CIRs include: 32 Kbps, 64 Kbps, 128 kbps, and 256 Kbps. If you transmit over this speed, you're in danger of losing packets and data. If the carrier's service is not working well, it may show congestion and packet loss, even if you are under your CIR.
Committed Information Rate; the rate at which the network agrees to transfer information under normal conditions. The rate is averaged over a minimum increment of time.
committed information rate. The rate at which a Frame Relay network agrees to transfer information under normal conditions, averaged over a minimum increment of time. CIR, measured in bits per second, is one of the key negotiated tariff metrics. See also Bc.

Committed Information Rate. In Frame Relay, when the router slows data traffic at a user-defined, predetermined rate due to congestion.
(Committed Information Rate) The minimum Frame-Relay-network bandwidth guaranteed between two sets of terminal equipment connected via a PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit).
Committed Information Rate; the amount of guaranteed bandwidth on a frame relay service.
Committed Information Rate. A specific level of traffic wherein frame relay networks should experience no or low packet loss.
The amount of bandwidth that a user can expect from a Frame Relay carrier on a particular virtual circuit.
Committed information rate. The CIR specifies the average rate at which packets are admitted to the network. As each packet enters the network, it is counted. Packets that do not exceed the CIR are marked green, which corresponds to low loss priority. Packets that exceed the CIR but are below the peak information rate (PIR) are marked yellow, which corresponds to medium loss priority. See also trTCM and PIR.
