established UBR.

Example:

>ppp 3 qos cbr pcr 10000 ;set channel 3 to be CBR limited at 10000 cells/sec

17.<channel> remoteip

Syntax:

<channel> remoteip [<ipaddress>]

Description:

If a PPP link is established using IPCP, this call causes the channel to provide the given IP address to the remote end of the connection. PPP will refuse to complete the connection if the other end will not accept this. This is normally used for channels on which the remote party dials in, to allocate the IP address to that remote party. Call with no argument to find the current setting.

Call with 0.0.0.0 to remove any setting. This is the default state. Configuration saving saves this information.

18.<channel> svc

Syntax:

<channel> svc listen [ipmac] <channel> svc addr <addr> [ipmac] <channel> svc none

Description:

Specify that the VC for a PPP channel should be an SVC (i.e. created by signaling). This can either be by listening for an incoming call, or by making an outgoing call to a specified ATM address.

The outgoing call or listen occurs immediately. If the call fails it will be retried after a few seconds. In the PPP state machine, providing a connection of this form causes the channel to be ‘up’ or ‘down’. Note that enable must also be used, to allow the link to become operational. Outgoing and incoming UNI signaling calls are identified by a BLLI value that identifies PPP. (Aside: A BLLI of length 3 bytes is used, hex values 6B, 78. C0.) If the channel is already attached to an SVC or PVC then it is closed, and re-opened with the new settings. If it cannot, it remains closed. If a single argument none is supplied, any current connection is torn down. This is equivalent to pvc none on the channel. The ip or mac indicates which form of data is transported over the connection: one of IP data (controlled by the IPCP protocol), or MAC data (for BCP). If neither is provided, ip is

Heritage specifications

IBM, or International Business Machines Corporation, is a global leader in technology and consulting, with a heritage that spans over a century. Established in 1911, IBM initially emerged from a merger of four companies, and it has since evolved into one of the most influential players in the tech industry.

One of the main features of IBM’s legacy is its commitment to innovation. The company has a long history of technological breakthroughs, including the development of the first programmable computer, the IBM 701, in the early 1950s. IBM has also been at the forefront of many pivotal technologies, including mainframe computers, which became central to large-scale enterprise computing. The System/360, introduced in 1964, revolutionized the industry by offering a compatible range of computers that could run the same software, a concept that helped define the standardization of computer systems.

IBM’s contributions to artificial intelligence, particularly through its Watson platform, are another hallmark of its heritage. Watson gained international fame for its success on the quiz show Jeopardy! in 2011, showcasing advanced natural language processing capabilities and machine learning techniques. This technology has since found applications in various fields, from healthcare to finance, significantly transforming data analysis.

Another key characteristic of IBM is its focus on research and development. With an impressive portfolio of patents, IBM consistently ranks among the top patent holders annually. Their research endeavors have led to significant advancements in quantum computing, with initiatives like the IBM Quantum Experience making quantum technologies accessible to developers and researchers.

Sustainability is also a priority for IBM, with programs aimed at promoting environmental responsibility. The company has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, reflecting the growing importance of sustainability in technology practices.

In summary, IBM's heritage is characterized by a strong legacy of innovation, technological leadership, and a commitment to addressing contemporary challenges in business and society. From pioneering mainframe systems to leading the charge in AI and quantum computing, IBM continues to shape the future of technology while maintaining a visionary outlook towards a sustainable and inclusive digital world.
