This read-create Integer32 (0 to 2,147,483,647 bits per second) sets the average rate of Frame Relay information field bits transferred per second across this virtual circuit, measured over an interval derived from dividing the committed burst by this throughput value when both are nonzero. An admin sets this in line with the contracted CIR for the DLCI, since it directly determines the measurement interval used to police committed versus excess traffic. For example, setting this throughput value to match a contracted 256 Kbps CIR ensures the network's congestion measurement interval aligns with what was actually purchased for that circuit.
