SSL Acceleration Module (SAM)

Intelligently accelerates secure business transactions and confidential data by off-loading SSL processing from local servers without imposing delays on other traffic in the same data path.

sustainable cell rate (SCR)

The expected rate of cell transmission on a nonconstant bit rate (CBR) transmission.

Switch Fabric (SF)

In signal computing system architecture (SCSA), the facility that connects two (or more) transmitting or receiving service providers. Network interfaces reside on line cards that provide connection between a switch fabric and external networks.

Switch Fabric/Central Processor Unit (SF/CPU)

The board that resides in slot 5 or 6 of the Nortel

Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 system chassis.

switched multimegabit data service (SMDS)

A connectionless, broadband, packet-switched data service that provides LAN-like performance and features in metropolitan or wide areas.

synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH)

A European digital transmission hierarchy based on time division multiplexing.

Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM)

A form of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) that can run at higher clock speeds than conventional DRAM. SDRAM employs a bursting technique in which the DRAM predicts the address of the next memory location to access.
