Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation: A reduced bit rate variant of PCM 
audio encoding (see also PCM). This algorithm encodes the difference between an 
actual audio sample amplitude and a predicted amplitude and adapts the resolution 
based on recent differential values. 

ACR Decrease Time Factor: This is the time permitted between sending RM-cells 
before the rate is decreased to ICR (Initial Cell Rate). The ADTF range is 0.01 to 
10.23 sec. with granularity of 10 ms. 

Authority and Format Identifier: This identifier is part of the network level address 
header. 

Acts on behalf of another person or thing, with delegated authority. The agents 

goals are those of the entity that created it.

A number assigned to an outside link by the border nodes at the ends of the outside 
link. The same number is associated with all uplinks and induced uplinks associated 
with the outside link. In the parent and all higher-level peer group, all uplinks with 
the same aggregation token are aggregated.

ATM-attached Host Functional Group: The group of functions performed by an 
ATM-attached host that is participating in the MPOA service. 

Artificial Intelligence: Perhaps the next phase of computing. The present form of 
IA in computer software are called Expert or Knowledge Based systems.

Signaling ID assigned by Exchange A. 

ATM Inverse Multiplexer: A term discontinued because of conflict with an 
established product. Refer to AIMUX.
