Page 548 Glossary conformance type The type of traffic control option used for ATM cells. A traffic descriptor combination that specifies which traffic parameters are used for traffic control; determines the number and type of cells that are admitted into a congested queue; and deter- mines whether high-priority cells are tagged as low-priority cells when traffic exceeds the traffic parameter thresholds.

Page 577 Glossary PTSP PNNI Topology State Packet. The PNNI routing packet used to exchange reachability and resource information between ATM switches. It is also designed to ensure that a connection request is routed on a path with high probability of meeting quality of service standards.
Page 578 Glossary rate shaping The transmission of ATM cells onto the ATM network at a peak cell rate, based on an algorithm. For frame relay traffic, the PSAX system software automatically calculates egress peak cell rate based on frame relay traffic parameters. For Ethernet traffic, the user must configure the egress peak cell rate.
Page 579 Glossary routing information protocol. A set of rules based on dis- tance-vector algorithms that measure the shortest path between points on a network. Each router maintains a rout- ing table or database with this information and periodically broadcasts it to neighboring routers. RJ-11, registered jacks.
Page 580 Glossary RSRS-232RS-449RS-530 recommended standard. Standards often set by the EIA (Elec- tronic Industries Association), the TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association), or both (EIA/TIA). RS-232 is a set of standards specifying three sets of interfaces (electrical, functional, and mechanical) for communicating between computers, terminals, and modems. Once only available on a 25-pin connector, they now come in a variety of configurations that aren’t always compatible to other devices without add-ons.
Page 581 Glossary sustained cell rate. A parameter defined by the ATM forum for ATM traffic management. The SCR is an upper bound on the conforming average rate of an ATM connection over time scales which are long enough relative to those for which the peak cell rate (PCR) is defined.
Page 582 Glossary service types A category of data transmission provided by a public data net- work in which the data signaling rate, the terminal operating mode, and the code structure, are standardized. Note: Class of service (service types) are defined in CCITT Recommendation X.1.
Page 583 Glossary simplex The operation of a channel in only one direction with no abil- ity to operate in the other direction. single in-line memory module See SIMM. single-mode See SM. single-mode fiber A fiber that allows only a single mode of light to propagate. single mode.
Page 584 Glossary software release distribution See SRD. SONET Synchronous Optical Network. An optical multiplexing inter- face for wideband, high-speed transmission (up to 13.22 Gbps), used mainly in carrier and telecommunications networks. source routing See SR. SPVC SemiPermanent Virtual Circuit. A PVC-type connection in which SVCs are used for call setup and (automatic) rerouting.
Page 585 Glossary Stratum3–4 timing, Stratum 3–4 These terms refer to the stratum level, the clock that lets a module digital network transmission know where it begins and ends. These levels were established by ANSI/TI.101.1987, “Syn- chronization Interface Standards for Digital Networks.” Level one is best, and is usually based on atomic clock or reference oscillator.
Page 586 Glossary Switched Virtual Circuit. A network connection that is cre- ated only as needed, and lasts only the duration of the mes- sage transfer. Used extensively in X.25 and frame relay networks, SVCs are far more complex than permanent virtual circuits, as they automatically consider the level of network congestion, including at both end points, and dynamically balance the network, by transmitting on a route specifically...
Page 587 Glossary time-division multiplex. A method of transmitting a number of separate voice, data, and/or video signals simultaneously over one communications medium by interleaving a piece of each signal, one after another. TDMA time-division multiplex access. One of several technologies used to separate multiple conversation transmissions over a finite allocation of bandwidth.
Page 588 Glossary toll routing The intra-switching of long distance telephone calls. tone detection A signal provided by a network or modem. When a CO detects this signal, it is sent through the network to an active call center. topology The configuration of a communication network. The physical topology is the way the network looks.
Page 589 Glossary tree A data structure containing zero or more nodes that are linked together in a hierarchical fashion. If there are any nodes, one node is the root; each node except the root is the child or one and only one other node; and each node has zero or more nodes as children.
Page 590 Glossary usage parameter control. Network actions used to monitor and control traffic at the end system. UPS detects negotiated parameters violations, and it can take appropriate action to protect against malicious or unintentional misbehavior. Its actions include cell tagging and cell discarding. uplink The connectivity between an ATM border node and an upn- ode.
Page 591 Glossary VBR-NRT variable bit rate-non-real time. A voice service that operates on both a connection and connectionless basis and allows delay variance between the delivery of cell. VBR-NRT is used for data applications that have potentially bursty traffic char- acteristics, including LAN interconnect, CAD/CAM, and mul- timedia.
Page 592 Glossary virtual path identifier See VPI. virtual private network See VPN. virtual router A virtual router is a grouping of IP interfaces. Each virtual router with IP interfaces has its own associated IP routing table, IP ARP table, IP route cache, and IP address pools, and maintains it’s own routing and packet statistics.
Page 593 Glossary xDSL A generic term standing for a variety of digital subscriber line services (the lowercase x standing for generic): ADSL, HDSL, IDSL, SDSL, and VDSL. This family of services provides extremely high bandwidth over the telephone company unshielded twisted-pair lines. Telephone companies are offer- ing these services to compete with the cable TV industry’s high speed access via modem as a way to provide high speed Internet services to consumers.
