I am in a similar situation. The link below provides some good reading, but
nothing definitive. I think the type of bit-rate depends on many factors :
1) Type of traffic (real time, non-real time, bursty, constant)
2) Type of VC (switched or PVC)
3) Traffic shaping capability
4) ATM networks provider congestion management capability
