A Multipoint-to-Multipoint Connection is a collection of associated ATM VC or 
VP links, and their associated nodes, with the following properties: 

•

All Nodes in the connection, called endpoints, serve as a Root Node in a 
Point-to-Multipoint connection to all of the (N-1) remaining endpoints. 

•

Each of the endpoints on the connection can send information directly to any 
other endpoint, but the receiving endpoint cannot distinguish which of the 
endpoints is sending information without additional (e.g., higher layer) 
information.

A Point-to-Multipoint Connection may have zero bandwidth from the Root node 
to the Leaf Nodes, and non-zero return bandwidth from the Leaf Nodes to the Root 
Node. Such a connection is also known as a Multipoint-to-Point Connection. Note 
that UNI 4.0 does not support this connection type. 

Multiplexer: Electronic equipment which allows two or more signals to pass over 
one communications circuit. That (circuit) may be a phone line, a microwave 
circuit, a through-the-air TV signal. That circuit may be analog or digital. There are 
many multiplexing techniques to accommodate both.

An address that matches one of a given node's summary addresses. 

Network Connection

Network Driver Interface Specification: Refer to 3COM/Microsoft, LAN Manager: 
Network Driver Interface Specification, October 8, 1990. 

Network Element: A system that supports at least NEFs and may also support 
Operation System Functions/Mediation Functions. An ATM NE may be realized as 
either a standalone device or a geographically distributed system. It cannot be 
further decomposed into managed elements in the context of a given management 
function.
