Avaya P550R/P580/P880/P882 Multiservice Switch ATM Uplink Module User Guide, Version 2.0
Two mechanisms used to control the setup of virtual circuits.
Overbooking, which allows one connection to exceed permissible
traffic limits, assumes that other active connections are not using the
maximum available resources. Full booking limits network access,
once maximum resources are committed, and only adds connections
that specify acceptable traffic parameters.
The local RS-232 ASCII interface on each Avaya switch.
Digital information, such as video and digitized voice, that must be
represented by a continuous stream of bits. CBR traffic requires
guaranteed throughput rates and service levels.
A mathematical algorithm that computes a numerical value based
on the bits contained in a block of data.
Model of the Avaya system.
A superset of the BOOTP protocol. The two major differences
between DHCP and BOOTP are:
DHCP defines mechanisms through which clients can be
assigned a network address for a fixed lease, allowing for
serial reassignment of network addresses to different clients.
DHCP provides the mechanism for a client to acquire all of
the IP configuration parameters that it needs to operate.
Defined by RFC 1531.
A collection of ATM endstations assigned to a particular virtual LAN.
A MAC-level entity that is the source or destination of an Ethernet
frame.
Endstation identifier. Last 7 bytes of an ATM address.
LAN Emulation Client (LEC) endstation ID.
A 16-bit identifier carried within an Ethernet frame to uniquely
identify its protocol type.
Non-volatile random access memory that can be written to and read
from.
