Glossary
A QoS model that defines policing policies at multiple levels of hierarchy for inbound packets. See also

hierarchical policies.
policing
Hypertext Markup Language. The page-coding language for the World Wide Web.
HTML
Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The protocol used to carry world-wide web (www) traffic between a www
http
browser computer and the www server being accessed.
I
See link fragmentation and interleaving.
interleaving
A collection of networks interconnected by a set of routers that allow them to function as a single, large
Internet
virtual network.
The network layer protocol for the Internet protocol suite.

L
See link fragmentation and interleaving.
LFI
The ability to fragment network level datagrams (and possibly interleave them) at the link layer.
link fragmentation
and interleaving Multilink inherently includes link fragmentation and interleaving capabilities, as do some other
technologies such as ATM.
In routing, the capability of a router to distribute traffic over all its network ports that are the same
load balancing
distance from the destination address. Good load-balancing algorithms use both line speed and
reliability information. Load balancing increases the use of network segments, thus increasing effective
network bandwidth.
M
Database of network management information that is used and maintained by a network management
Management
Information Base protocol, such as SNMP or CMIP (Common Management Information Protocol). The value of a MIB
object can be changed or retrieved using SNMP commands, usually through a Network Management
System (NMS). MIB objects are organized in a tree structure that includes public (standard) and private
(proprietary) branches.
A QoS tool used to differentiate packets based on designated markings. Using marking, you can
marking
partition your network into multiple priority levels or classes of service. Marking simplifies the
network Qos design and QoS tools configuration, and reduces the overhead of packet classification by
other QoS tools.
