Huh? CIR is certainly a billable characteristic, but link speed would equate
to the port hard limit.
So a full t1 max = 24 ds0 @ 64k =1536. Having a CIR of anything above would
be nice for the
telco as far as billing but you aren't going get any faster than the 1536Kb.
On the other hand the same t1 with a CIR pvc of 0Kb will bill nicely for the
client, and in all but
the rarest cases be able to ustilize the entire 1536Kb.
