Glossary
PRE | Performance routing engine. The central routing unit for the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband |
| router. The PRE performs all Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet manipulation related to routing and |
| forwarding through the Cisco uBR10012 routers. Use dual PREs in a single chassis for redundancy. See |
| also PXF Network Processors. |
PXF Network | Parallel eXpress Forwarding network processors. A pair of programmable ASICs that perform parallel |
Processors | processing to support high performance Layer 3 forwarding. |

QoS
QPPB
Quality of Service
Quality of service. A measure of performance for a transmission system that reflects its transmission quality and service availability.
QoS Policy Propagation by BGP. A feature that classifies packets by IP precedence based on BGP community lists, BGP autonomous system paths, and access lists. After a packet is classified, other quality of service features such as committed access rate (CAR) and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) can specify and enforce policies to fit a business model.
See QoS.

See RAM.
See ROM.
In internetworking, the duplication of devices, services, or connections so that, in the event of a failure, the redundant devices, services, or connections can perform the work of those that failed.
See RMON.
See RFC.
Request for comments. A document series used as the primary means for communicating information about the Internet. Some RFCs are designated by the IAB as Internet standards. Most RFCs document protocol specifications such as Telnet and FTP, but some are humorous or historical. RFCs are available online from numerous sources.
RMON | Remote Monitoring. MIB agent specification described in RFC 1271 that defines functions for the |
| remote monitoring of networked devices. The RMON specification provides numerous monitoring, |
| problem detection, and reporting capabilities. |
ROM | Read only memory. Nonvolatile memory that can be read, but not written, by the microprocessor. |
