SUMMARY

The Broadband Connection-Oriented Bearer Service (BCOBS) provides unrestricted transfer of digital information between T_B reference points, or S_B reference points when T_B and S_B reference points are coincident. This bearer service flexibly supports connection-oriented communications at any bit rate over a virtual channel connection. This bit rate can be approximately constant to support constant bit rate traffic or it can be highly variable to support variable bit-rate traffic.
