CAPACITY

Read syntax diagramSkip visual syntax diagramCAPACITY=32MCAPACITY=number_of_bits

Specifies the effective capacity of the link that comprises the transmission group (TG). Specify the value in Kb per second (for example, 100K), Mb per second (for example, 100M), or Gb per second (for example, 10G). This number approximates the bits per second that the link can transmit (the transmission rate of the link, times the maximum load factor expressed as a percentage).

Note: Because the value for capacity is represented as a single byte, the precision of the specified number of bits might be lost. For example, numbers that are close (such as 100K and 101K) can be interpreted by VTAM®, and displayed, as the same value. See Table 1 for a list of CAPACITY values you can specify and their corresponding values when displayed.
