Maximum Delay Buffer for NxDS0 Interfaces

Because NxDS0 interfaces carry less bandwidth than a T1 or E1 interface, the buffer size on an NxDS0 interface can be relatively larger, depending on the number of DS0 channels combined. The maximum delay buffer size is calculated with the following formula:

Interface Speed * Maximum Delay Buffer Time = Delay Buffer Size

For example, a 1xDS0 interface has a speed of 64 kilobits per second (Kbps). At this rate, the maximum delay buffer time is 4,000,000 microseconds. Therefore, the delay buffer size is 32 kilobytes (KB):

64 Kbps * 4,000,000 microseconds = 32 KB

Table 33 shows the delay-buffer calculations for 1xDS0 through 32xDS0 interfaces.
