CIDR

Circuit

Identifier

Clear Channel

A form of circuit state signaling in which the circuit state is indicated by one or more bits of signaling status sent repetitively and associated with that specific circuit.

Classless Inter-Domain Routing. CIDR is a new addressing scheme for the Internet which allows for more efficient allocation of IP addresses than the old Class A, B, and C address scheme.

This is a character string specified by the circuit vendor, and is useful when communicating with the vendor during the troubleshooting process.

A digital circuit where no framing or control bits (i.e. for signaling) are required, thus making the full bandwidth available for communications. For example, a 56 Kbps circuit is typically a 64 Kbps digital circuit with 8 Kbps used for signaling. Sometimes called Switched-56.

cold-standby	In a redundant DS3 controller setup, the standby controller can be in two
	states, the hot-standby signifies that the card is ready to go active
	(healthy) but for some reason (code of the 2 controllers is not the
	same) it will need to reconfigure the box when it goes active,
	which will be service affecting. Also see hot-standby.
