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.

TG characteristics are not valid with DYNTYPE=VN because DYNTYPE=VN defines the dynamic PU used for a VN connection, not the virtual routing node (VRN) and its associated TGs. The TG created with the dynamic PU is not reported to Topology and Routing Services and is not involved in route calculation. To determine the weight of the TGs associated with the VRN, specify the TG characteristics in the XCA major node or the NCP major node.
