Service Specific Convergence Sublayer (SSCS)
The Service Specific Convergence Sublayer (SSCS) is a part of the ATM Adaptation layer and handles timing and message identification depending on the AAL type being used.
Services Layer
The layer immediately above the adaptation layer in the hierarchy of telecommunications protocols. It is occupied by a particular client information service which is to be mapped into the cell layer by the adaptation layer. Different adaptation layers are needed for different services.
Session Control
The function of the Data Flow Control (DFC) layer is to control the responses between FMDS pairs within sessions. The chief control block of the DFC is the Session Control Block (SCB).
Setup
Setting up the bandwidth and permissible cell delay times at the beginning of a call.
SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module)
DRAM that is mounted on a small printed circuit board that can be installed in an Agilent probe. Also see DRAM.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The Simple Network Management Protocol provides requests and responses between SNMP managers and SNMP agents. These transactions work with network management information from Management Information Bases (MIBs)
SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol)
A protocol used for serial communications.
Slot
A position in the ATM cell stream. Vacant slots are padded with idle (or fill) cells.
