A BGP attribute that contains a list of 32-bit values used to identify a route as belonging to a category of routes. All of the routes in the category are treated equally by routing policies.

constant bit rate (CBR)

A data service that conveys bits regularly in time and at a constant rate, between source (transmitter) and sink (receiver), for example, follows a timing source or clock.

Custom AutoNegotiation Advertisement (CANA)

An enhancement of the IEEE 802.3 autonegotiation process on the 10/100/1000 copper ports. CANA offers improved control over the autonegotiation process. The system advertises all port capabilities that for tri-speed ports include 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, 1000 Mb/s speeds and duplex and half-duplex modes of operation. This advertisement results in autonegotiation between the local and remote end that settles on the highest common denominator. CANA can advertise a user-defined subset of the capabilities that settle on a lower or particular capability.

customer edge (CE)

A router or switch located at a customer site that connects to a provider edge (PE) router.

customer premise equipment (CPE)

Equipment or inside wiring at the customer site that connects to telecommunications equipment.

cyclic redundancy check (CRC)

Ensures frame integrity is maintained during transmission. The CRS performs a computation on frame contents before transmission and

on the receiving device. The system discards frames that do not pass the CRC.
