summary address
An address prefix that tells a node how to summarize reachability
information.
SuperStack II Switch
2700
3Com Ethernet-to-ATM switch used to connect Ethernet network
devices to each other and to an ATM backbone.
SVC
Switched Virtual Connection. A standard signaling protocol that
automatically defines connections as they are needed, and discards
them when complete.
switched virtual LAN
A logical network consisting of several different LAN Emulation
domains controlled through an intelligent management application.
switching module
A CoreBuilder 7000 switching module found in the slot just under the
power supply. An additional switching module can be used for
redundancy. The switching module contains a control port, a
management port and a service port.
synched external
clock port
Port that has been synchronized according to the external clock
supported by the external clock source port. Only on-board 8-port ports
can function as synched ports. Ports that are to be synched should be
configured to internal clock mode.
T
topology database
The database that describes the topology of the entire PNNI routing
domain as seen by a node.
topology
The physical or logical placement of stations on a network in relation to
one another.
traffic management
The aspect of the traffic control and congestion control procedures for
ATM. ATM layer traffic control refers to the set of actions taken by the
network to avoid congestion conditions. ATM layer congestion control
refers to the set of actions taken by the network to minimize the
intensity, spread and duration of congestion.
U
UBR
Unspecified Bit Rate. UBR is an ATM service category which does not
specify traffic related service guarantees. Specifically, UBR does not
include the notion of a per-connection negotiated bandwidth. No
numerical commitments are made with respect to the cell loss ration
