M

management information base (MIB)

Defines system operations and parameters used for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

marking

A process that uses defined rules to assign the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) in a packet.

mask

A bit string that is used along with an IP address to indicate the number of leading bits in the address that correspond with the network part.

maximum burst size (MBS)

One of a set of traffic characterization values that defines traffic characteristics through the traffic descriptor types. MBS defines the length in cells of a traffic burst relative to the peak cell rate (PCR), which it cannot exceed, and the sustained cell rate (SCR), which it can exceed but only for a time period defined by burst tolerance (BT).

maximum transmission unit (MTU)

The largest number of bytes in a packet—the

Maximum Transmission Unit of the port.

media

A substance that transmits data between ports; usually fiber optic cables or category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper wires.
