I'm afraid this is incorrect. The Cisco kbps value is converted to cells
using 53 bytes per cell, not 48. You can verify this for yourself by doing
debug atm events
and configuring a PVC. For instance:
interface ATM2/0.1 point-to-point
pvc 0/110
vbr-nrt 2304 1536 100
and you get as debug output the cell rates:
VBR: pcr 5433, scr 3622, mbs 100
1536 kbps gives you a cell rate of 3622 cps, not 4000.
It's this way in 11.1CC, 12.0S and 12.1 - I don't believe 11.2 is any
different.
