An old topic, can CBR connection be overbooked?

Hi friends,

This is really an old topic, but i'm a little slow and can't catch up,:-)

Can we over-subscribe CBR connection within a physical link? Heard some
expert (from C&W) last night, that at the idle time when upper layer app
don't generate data, so no cell will be send even in CBR conenction, then
the idle time in the cell level will be used by other connection, such as
UBR, ABR.  Is this a general practice by all the switch? Or it's only an
advantage of certain switch ( more capabile and efficient switch)?

Thanks definitely for your answer, or pointer to a previous discussion
is also welcome. Thanks.


Yu Ning.
