free list threshold
A free list threshold is a specific number of blocks used in the determination
of the congestion state of the free list. A free list can define several thresholds.
As the free list size crosses each threshold, the free list enters a more severe
congestion state. For example, ATM FPs define three free list thresholds. The
free list at its maximum size starts off in congestion state 3; and as it is
depleted and falls below the first threshold, it enters congestion state 2.

FTM
The Nortel Multiservice Switch traffic management system. It detects
congestion and reports it to the service (frame relay, for example).

full FMIP
Format type associated with Nortel Multiservice Switch system accounting
and statistics records. For full FMIP accounting and statistics records, each
field is completely encoded in FMIP format.
function processor (FP)
A type of processor card that supports physical interface connections to
subscriber lines and network trunks. It is optimized to support the software
that performs the real-time functions associated with the forwarding and
routing of frames. Different types of FPs support different types of physical
interfaces, such as DS1, E1, V.35, and V.11 access and trunks. See also
