Distributed MultiLink Trunking (DMLT)

A point-to-point connection that aggregates similar ports from different modules to logically act like a single port, but with the aggregated bandwidth.

distribution tree

A set of multicast routers and subnetworks that allow the group members to receive traffic from a source.

Domain Name System (DNS)

A system that maps and converts domain and host names to IP addresses.

downstream node

Refers to the node that the packet enters on the downstream node.

downstream-on-demand (DoD)

A label switch router (LSR) distributes a forward equivalence class (FEC) label binding in response to an explicit request from another LSR. The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 does not support downstream-on-demand.

downstream unsolicited (DU)

An LSR distributes label bindings to LSRs that do not explicitly request them.

dual inline memory module (DIMM)

A module that contains one or several random access memory (RAM) chips on a small circuit board with pins that connect it to the computer motherboard.

Duplicate Address Detection (DAD)

A method used to discover duplicate addresses in an IPv6 network.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

A standard Internet protocol that dynamically configures hosts on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. DHCP extends the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP).
