We at Ground Control define CIR as a segment of your connection that is not shared with others on the network, so it always transfers guaranteed speeds 100% of the time. In addition, we can prioritize traffic such as VoIP phone service and other specialty applications that require a CIR segment, while normal connectivity can be on a shared channel. Since a 1:1 CIR channel is not shared, it is typically much more expensive than a shared service. Some companies use the term CIR loosely in describing shared plans, however, if a channel is shared, then obviously full speed can not be guaranteed.
Many of our customers use a small 20 x 20Kbps CIR for their VoIP Phone connection so that conversations never drop off, no matter the load they place on their normal network. |
