CLIP (Classical IP)
IP over ATM conforming to RFC 1577.
CLP
Cell Loss Priority
Collision
The result of two or more nodes on a LAN transmitting at the same time, producing a garbled transmission.
Common Part Convergence Sublayer (CPCS)
The Common Part Convergence Sublayer (CPCS) is a part of the ATM Adaptation layer and provides message identification and error detection depending on the AAL type being used.
Concentrator
An FDDI or
Connectionless-mode Network Protocol (CLNP)
The
Console
The ASCII terminal, or PC emulating an ASCII terminal that is connected to the probe and used to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the probe.
Convergence Layer
The Convergence Layer maps ATM cells into the transmission medium being used. It is responsible for identifying the beginning of cells (cell delineation), and for some simple management functions corresponding to the cell mapping. It also decouples the rate of cell transmissions from the physical media by inserting and removing idle cells.
