SMLT aggregation switch

Connects to multiple wiring closet switches, edge switches, or Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) devices.

SMLT client

A switch located at the edge of the network, such as in a wiring closet or CPE. An SMLT client switch performs link aggregation but does not require Split MultiLink Trunking (SMLT) intelligence.

source path messages (SPM)

Allows the network element, a Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 with Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) enabled, to learn the source path and maintain information about the PGM session.

spanning tree

A simple, fully-connected active topology formed from the arbitrary physical topology of connected bridged Local Area Network components by relaying frames through selected bridge ports. The protocol parameters and states that are used and exchanged to facilitate the calculation of the active topology and to control the bridge relay function.

Spanning Tree Group (STG)

A collection of ports in one spanning tree instance.

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

MAC bridges use the STP to exchange information across Local Area Networks to compute the active topology of a bridged Local Area Network in accordance with the Spanning Tree Protocol algorithm.

Split MultiLink Trunking (SMLT)

A Nortel extension to IEEE 802.3ad, provides nodal and link failure protection and flexible bandwidth scaling to improve on the level of Layer 2 resiliency.
