Carrier Access Network Device Axxius 800 Manual De Usuario

An authentication protocol that allows Point-to-Point Protocol peers to 
authenticate one another. 

The Peak Cell Rate, in cells/sec, is the cell rate which the source may 
never exceed. 

Private Line, Automatic Ringdown. A leased voice circuit that connects 
two single instruments together. When either handset is lifted, the other 
instrument automatically rings. 

Path Maintenance Data Link.

Provides a standard means of encapsulating data packets sent over a 
single-channel WAN link. It is the standard WAN encapsulation 
protocol for the interoperability of bridges and routers. 

A physical address that is associated with a physical connecting device.

Procedure or set of rules.

Permanent Virtual Circuit. A PVC is a permanent channel connection 
between two ATM devices. PVC’s allow network transmissions to be 
started without having to first establish a connection with the end point 
ATM device. When a PVC is constructed, the end points of the 
connection will agree upon a path in which data will travel, and therefore 
agree upon the route that data will travel to reach its destination.

Routing Information Protocol. RIP is based on distance vector 
algorithms that measure the shortest path between two points on a 
network, based on the addresses of the originating and destination 
devices. The shortest path is determined by the number of "hops" 
between those points. Each router maintains a routing table, or routing 
database, of known addresses and routes; each router periodically 
broadcasts the contents of its table to neighboring routers in order that the 
entire network can maintain a synchronized database.
