Avaya, Inc.
10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification that uses
two pairs of twisted-pair cabling: one pair for
transmitting data and the other for receiving data.
10/100BaseT has a distance limit of approximately
100 meters per segment.
100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification that
uses UTP wiring.
sends link pulses over the network segment when
no traffic is present. These link pulses contain more
information than those used in 10/100BaseT.
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line.
Address Resolution Protocol.
obtain the Ethernet address for a known IP address.
See also Inverse ARP.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode.
Bootstrap Protocol. Used during network booting by
a network node to determine the IP address of its
Ethernet interfaces.
Data-Link Connection Identifier. Value that specifies
a PVC or SVC in a Frame Relay network. In the
basic Frame Relay specification, DLCIs are locally
significant (connected devices might use different
values to specify the same connection). In the LMI
extended specification, DLCIs are globally significant
(DLCIs specify individual end devices).
Network connection with a capacity of 2.048, divided
into 32 separate channels (or DS0s).
