network-to-network interface (NNI)

An interface between two networks in different management domains.

next hop

The next hop to which a packet can be sent to advance the packet to the destination.

Next Hop Label Forwarding Entry (NHLFE)

n index used to forward a labeled packet. It contains the next hop of the packet and instructions of what to do, either swap the label or pop the label stack.

nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA)

Interconnects multiple devices over a broadcast network through point-to-point links. NBMA reduces the number of IP addresses required for point-to-point connections.

nondispersion-shifted fiber (NDSF)

A type of optical fiber optimized for the 1310 nm transmission window.

NonVolatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM)

Random Access Memory that retains its contents after electrical power turns off.

nonzero-dispersion-shifted fiber (NZDSF)

A type of optical fiber optimized for high bit-rate and dense wavelength-division-multiplexing applications.

Nortel Networks command line interface (NNCLI)

Nortel Networks command line interface (NNCLI) is a common CLI that follows the industry standard. NNCLI is a common user interface for device management across Nortel products.

not so stubby area (NSSA)

Prevents the flooding of external link-state advertisements (LSA) into the area by providing them with a default route. An NSSA is a configuration of the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol.
