This read-write integer is the Minimum Cell Rate for the remote end of the connection, defaulting to the same value as the local end's frConnMCR unless set explicitly, but requiring a distinct value on an asymmetric connection where local and remote CIRs differ. An administrator configures it explicitly whenever the two ends of a connection are provisioned with meaningfully different minimum-rate guarantees. For example, on an asymmetric PVC where the remote end has a lower CIR than the local end, frConnRemoteMCR should be set below frConnMCR to reflect the remote side's lower guaranteed rate.
