frequency, but the start point does not need to be consistent.
The method to keep the time on each node being synchronized with a clock source in a
network.

See Configuration Management
A traffic control method that uses a set of rate limits to be applied to a router interface.
CAR is a configurable method by which incoming and outgoing packets can be classified
into Quality of Service (QoS) groups, and by which the input or output transmission rate
can be defined.
A process that combines multiple virtual containers. The combined capacities can be
used a single capacity. The concatenation also keeps the integrity of bit sequence.
A command file defining hardware configurations of an NE. With this file, an NE can
collaborate with other NEs in an entire network. Configuration data is the key factor for
normal running of an entire network.
A network management function defined by the International Standards Organization
(ISO). It involves installing, reinitializing & modifying hardware & software.
To set the basic parameters of an operation object.
An extra intra-network or inter-network traffic resulting in decreasing network service
efficiency.
A reference point where the output of a trail termination source or a connection is bound
to the input of another connection, or where the output of a connection is bound to the
input of a trail termination sink or another connection. The connection point is
characterized by the information which passes across it. A bidirectional connection point
is formed by the association of a contradirectional pair.
A kind of service categories defined by the ATM forum. CBR transfers cells based on
the constant bandwidth. It is applicable to service connections that depend on precise
clocking to ensure undistorted transmission.
A process in which multiple channels of low-rate signals are multiplexed into one or
several channels of required signals. It refers to the speed and capability for a group of
networking devices to run a specific routing protocol. It functions to keep the network
topology consistent.
A service that provides enhancements to an underlying service in order to meet the
specific requirements of users.
Used to protect optical fibers.
