[rprsg] (Terms & Defn) some missing terms
Bob, All,
I was trying to figure out what terms are missing from the list
that we will need eventually. We will likely not need all of these
in our current objective phase. How about:
Topology Discovery/Database Terms:
Hello Message - the message you send when you wake up on a ring
Neighbor - a station one hop away
Upstream Neighbor - the neighbor who is upstream one hop
Downstream Neighbor - the neighbor who is downstream one hop
Partitioned Ring - when a ring is broken into two non-communicating ring segments
Ring Segment - one portion of a partitioned ring
Partition Healing - when the ring segments of a partitioned ring are reconnected
Station Introduction - introducing a station into an existing ring
Station Removal - Removing a station from a ring
Insertion Disable - a network management command which disables the insertion of traffic
onto a ring by a given station
Station Capability - the representation of the capabilities of a given station
Link Capability - the representation of the capabilities of a given link
Station Status - the current state of operation of a given station
Link Status - the current state of operation of a given link
Header Terms:
Type
Shim Layer
TTL - Time To Live
COS - Class of Service
HEC - Header Error Check
CRC - Cyclic Redundancy Check
EIP - Error in Payload
DE - Packet Discard Eligibility
Frame GFP - Frame based Generic Framing Protocol
POS - Packet Over Sonet
Rate Oriented Terms:
Meter - a measurement device for determining the rate(s) of traffic
Leaky Bucket - a technique commonly used in specifying and constructing meters
Policing - the act of checking that traffic is obeying the rules
Traffic Shaper - the function which plays out traffic at a given rate
Protection Terms:
Manual switch - manually switch traffic to a protection line/path/direction
Revert - switch back from the protection to the working line/path/direction
Forced switch - switch traffic from the protection to the working independent of the state of the working path
lockout of protection - prevent working traffic from using the protection line/path/direction
APS - Automatic protection Switching
ULSR - Unidirectional Line Switched Ring
BLSR - Bidirectional Line Switched Ring
UPSR - Unidirectional Path Switched Ring
BPSR - Bidirectional Path Switched Ring
SF - Signal Fail
SD - Signal Degrade
WTR - Wait to Restore
I am sure there are many more.
Thanks,
Brian Holden
