A system (or several systems) that controls w resources users have access to, and keeps track of the activi ty of users over the network. ANSI American National Standards Institute. A voluntary organization composed of corporate, government, and other members that coordinates standards-related activities, approves U.S.
  • Page 300 Glossary Best effort. A service where neither throughput nor delay guarantees are provided. The subscriber unit sends requests for bandwidth in either random access slots or dedicated transmission opportunities. The occurrence of dedicated opportunities is subject to network load, and the subscriber unit cannot rely on their presence.
  • Page 301 Glossary Cyclical Redundancy Check. A common technique for detecting data transmission errors, in which the frame recipient calcul ates a remainder by dividing frame contents by a prime binary d ivisor and compares the calculated remainder to a value stored in frame by the sending equipment.
  • Page 302 Glossary Frequency Division Duplex. Full duplex operation by using a pair of frequencies, one for transmission and one for reception. Forward Error Correction. A method of communicating data that can corrects errors in transmission on the receiving end. Prior to transmission, the data is put through a predetermined algorithm that adds extra bits specifically for error correction to any character or code block.

Real Time service is designed to meet the needs of Real Time Variable Bit Rate (RT-VBR) like services characterized by requirements for guaranteed rate and delay such as streaming video or audio. These services are dynamic in nature, but offer periodic dedicated requests opportunities to meet real-time requirements.
  • Page 309 Glossary SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. A network management protocol that provides a means to monitor and control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistics collection, performance, and security. SNMP works by sending messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about themselves in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters.
