Application Server Process
A process instance of an Application
Server. An Application Server
Process serves as an active or
standby process of an Application
Server (e.g., part of a distributed
virtual switch or database).
Examples of ASPs are processes (or
process instances of) MGCs, IP SCPs
or IP HLRs. An ASP contains an
SCTP end-point, and may be
configured to process signaling
traffic within more than one
Application Server.
An association refers to an SCTP
association. The association provides
the transport for protocol data units
and adaptation layer peer messages.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode
A packet-oriented transfer mode that
uses an asynchronous time division
multiplexing technique to multiplex
information flow in fixed blocks,
called cells.
A high-bandwidth, low-delay
switching, and multiplexing
technology to support applications
that include high-speed data, local
area network interconnection,
multimedia application and imaging,
and residential applications such as
video telephony and other
information-based services.
The application used for high-speed
ANSI ATM signaling links.
