Class A, B, and C networks: The values assigned to the first few bits in an IP network address determine which class designation the network has. In decimal notation, Class A network addresses range from 1.X.X.X to 126.X.X.X, Class B network addresses range from 128.1.X.X to 191.254.X.X, and Class C addresses range from 192.0.1.X to 223.255.254.X. For more information on IP network address classes, see Appendix C, “Understanding IP Addressing.”

client: An intelligent workstation that makes requests to other computers known as servers. PC computers on a LAN can be clients.

clustering: A feature that clusters remapped network numbers into a range of sequential network numbers.

CNA (Calling Number Authentication): A security feature that will reject an incoming call if it does not match the Calling Number field in one of the Netopia ISDN Router’s Connection Profiles.

CND (Calling Number Delivery): Also known as caller ID, a feature that allows the Called Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) to receive a calling party’s directory number during the call establishment phase.

Committed Burst Size (Bc): The maximum amount of data (in bits) that the network agrees to transfer, under normal conditions, during a time interval Tc. See also Excess Burst Size (Be).

Committed Information Rate (CIR): The committed rate (in bits per second) at which the ingress access interface trunk interfaces, and egress access interface of a frame relay network transfer information to the destination frame relay end system under normal conditions. The rate is averaged over a minimum time interval Tc.

Committed Rate Measurement Interval (Tc): The time interval during which the user can send only a Bc-committed amount of the traffic. Tc is computed (from the subscription parameters of CIR and Bc) as Tc = Bc/CIR. Tc is not a periodic time interval. Instead, it is used only to measure incoming data, during which it acts like a sliding window. Incoming data triggers the Tc interval, which continues until it completes its commuted duration. See also Committed Information Rate (CIR) and Committed Burst Size (Bc).
