Glossary

U

upstream rate The line rate for message or data transfer from the source machine to a destination machine on the network. Also see downstream rate.

V

VC

virtual circuit

VCI

VPI

Virtual circuit. A logical circuit created to ensure reliable communication between two network devices. A virtual circuit is defined by a VPI/VCI pair, and can be either permanent (PVC) or switched (SVC). In ATM, a virtual circuit is called a virtual channel. Sometimes abbreviated VC. See also PVC, SVC, VCI, and VPI.

See VC.

Virtual channel identifier. A 16-bit field in the header of an ATM cell. The VCI, together with the VPI, is used to identify the next destination of a cell as it passes through to the ATM switch. Sometimes called virtual channel connection. See also VPI.

Virtual path identifier. An 8-bit field in the header of an ATM cell. The VPI, together with the VCI, is used to identify the next destination of a cell as it passes through the network. See also VCI.

8xDMT specifications

Cisco Systems’ 8xDMT, or "Eightfold Digital Multicast Technology," is a pioneering solution designed to optimize multicast traffic management and enhance the scalability of network performance. This technology comes into play primarily in video broadcasting, online gaming, and other applications that require the efficient distribution of data to multiple endpoints, significantly reducing the bandwidth use while improving overall network efficiency.

One of the primary features of Cisco 8xDMT is its ability to support multiple multicast streams concurrently. By using advanced algorithms, 8xDMT ensures that network resources are utilized efficiently, minimizing latency and maximizing throughput. This makes it particularly advantageous for service providers and organizations that deliver high-definition video content or require real-time data transmission across geographic locations.

Another notable characteristic of the Cisco 8xDMT is its integrated Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities. This feature allows for the prioritization of multicast traffic, ensuring that critical data packets are transmitted smoothly without delay, even during peak load times. The QoS management allows administrators to configure settings that guarantee minimal disruptions, providing end users with a seamless viewing or gameplay experience.

Additionally, Cisco 8xDMT takes advantage of Multicast Domain Name System (mDNS), which allows devices on the same network to discover and communicate efficiently. This not only aids in reducing the network load but also simplifies the management of multicast addresses, making it easier for organizations to scale their operations without significant overhead.

The technology also incorporates robust security features, including support for secure multicast transmissions. This ensures that sensitive data remains protected during distribution, addressing the increasing need for security in an era where cyber threats are prevalent.

Furthermore, Cisco Systems emphasizes interoperability with its 8xDMT platform, ensuring easy integration with existing network infrastructure. This is crucial for enterprises looking to modernize their systems without the need for extensive reinvestment in new hardware.

In conclusion, Cisco Systems’ 8xDMT stands out as a versatile and high-performance multicast solution designed to meet modern networking demands. With its ability to manage multiple streams, enforce QoS, simplify multicast management, and secure communications, it holds significant potential for transforming how organizations distribute data efficiently and effectively.
