CIR - Committed Information Rate

Identifies the rate of ingress traffic Originating traffic (OT) is one way trunking from an ILEC to a CLEC. Terminating traffic (TT) is one way trunking from a CLEC to an ILEC. OT/TT is two way traffic between a CLEC and an ILEC. across the circuit under normal conditions.
