multihomed AS

An AS that has multiple connections to one or more ASs and does not carry transit traffic.

Multicast Link Discovery (MLD)

An asymmetric protocol. MLD specifies separate behaviors for multicast address listeners and multicast routers.

multicast router discovery (MRDISC)

Provides the automatic discovery of multicast capable routers. By listening to multicast router discovery messages, Layer 2 devices can determine where to send multicast source data and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) host membership reports.

Multicast Router Discovery Protocol (MRDP)

Discovers multicast routers in a Layer 2 bridged domain configured for IGMP snooping.

Multicast Router Learning Protocol (MRLP)

Provides basic information between two core switches, for example, neighbor information learning for edge switches, messages that determine the forwarder, and multicast tree building information related to the edge switch.

MultiLink Trunking (MLT)

A method of link aggregation that uses multiple Ethernet trunks aggregated to provide a single logical trunk. A multilink trunk provides the combined bandwidth of multiple links and the physical layer protection against the failure of a single link.

multimode fiber (MMF)

A fiber with a core diameter larger than the wavelength of light transmitted that allows many modes of light to propagate. Commonly used with LED sources for low speed and short distance lengths. Typical core sizes (measured in microns) are 50/125, 62.5/125 and 100/140.
