Link Constraint 
A restriction on the use of links for path selection for a specific connection. 
Link Metric 
A link parameter that requires the values of the parameter for all links along a given 
path to be combined to determine whether the path is acceptable and/or desirable 
for carrying a given connection. 
Link State Parameter 
Information that captures an aspect or property of a link. 
LLC
Logic Link Control: A protocol developed by the IEEE 802.2 committee for data-
link level transmission control. It is the upper sublayer of the IEEE Layer 2(OSI) 
protocol that compliments the MAC protocol. IEEE standard 802.2 includes end-
system addressing and error checking. It also provides a common access control 
standard and governs the assembly of data packets and their exchange between data 
stations independent of how the packets are transmitted on the LAN.
LNNI 
LANE NNI: The standardized interface between two LAN servers (LES-LES, 
BUS-BUS, LECS-LECS and LECS-LES). 
LOC 
Loss of Cell Delineation: A condition at the receiver or a maintenance signal 
transmitted in the PHY overhead indicating that the receiving equipment has lost 
cell delineation. Used to monitor the performance of the PHY layer. 
LOF 
Loss of Frame: A condition at the receiver or a maintenance signal transmitted in 
the PHY overhead indicating that the receiving equipment has lost frame 
delineation. This is used to monitor the performance of the PHY layer. 
Logical Group Node 
A logical node that represents a lower level peer group as a single point for purposes 
of operating at one level of the PNNI routing hierarchy. 
Logical Link 
An abstract representation of the connectivity between two logical nodes. This 
includes individual physical links, individual virtual path connections, and parallel 
physical links and/or virtual path connections.
