Appendix D. Glossary

DCE

data communications equipment. Device that provides all the functions required for connection to telephone company lines and for converting signals between telephone lines and DTE. Also see DTE.

DDS

digital data service. A private line digital service for transmitting data end-to- end at speeds of 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, and 56 kbps (and in some cases 19.2, 38.4, or 64 kbps). The systems can use central hub offices for obtaining test access, bridging legs of multi-point circuits, and cross connecting equipment. DDS is offered on an inter-LATA basis by AT&T and on an intra-LATA basis by the Bell operating companies.

delay

The amount of time by which a signal is delayed. A round-trip transmission delay measurement helps detect possible causes of protocol timeouts.

DLCI

datalink communications identifier. A unique number assigned to a PVC end point in a frame relay network. Identifies a particular PVC endpoint within a user's access channel in a frame relay network and has local significance only to that channel.

DS1

digital signal level one. Twenty-four DS0 channels make up one DS1 (total band- width is 1.544 Mbps).

DS3

digital signal level three. Equivalent of 28 DS1s and 672 DS0s (total bandwidth is 44.736 Mbps).

DSU

data service unit. A device designed to transmit and receive digital data on digi- tal transmission facilities.

DTE

data terminal equipment. The end-user terminal or computer that plugs into the termination point (DCE) of a communications circuit. The main difference between the DCE and the DTE is that pins two and three are reversed.
