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 Token-Ring network device that connects as a Dual Attachment Station and has connections for additional devices (such as; stations, concentrators, or bridges).

Connectionless-mode Network Protocol (CLNP)

The Connectionless-mode Network Protocol is a Network layer protocol which has been defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). A complete description of the protocol is contained in ISO 8473, Information processing systems - Data communications - Protocol for providing the connectionless-mode network service.

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.
