star network

A star is a network topology that connects all devices to a central location called a hub. Traditional star networks are designed to be easily expandable because hubs can be connected to additional hubs of other networks. A star is the opposite of a ring network. Also see BUS network.

static

subrate multiplexing

subscriber line

synchronous

T1

In communications, interference (static) that destroys the integrity of signals on a line. Noise can come from a variety of sources, including radio waves, nearby electrical wires, lightning, and bad connections. One of the major advantages of fiber optic cables over metal cables is that they are much less susceptible to noise.

32-bit quantity indicating which bits in an IP address identify the physical network

The process of combining lower data rates into a single 64 Kbps channel signal.

The telephone line connecting the local Telco CO to the customer’s telephone instrument or telephone system.

In networks, a device that filters and forwards packets between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. See contact.

See asynchronous as an opposing technology. Data transmission using synchronization bytes, instead of start/stop bits, to control the transmission. In xDSL, video streams are considered to be synchronous in nature.

Trunk Level 1. A digital transmission link with a total signaling speed of 1.544 Mbps. T1 is a standard for the digital transmission in North America
