traffic profile

The temporal properties of a traffic stream, such as rate.

transit AS

An AS that has multiple connections to one or more ASs and is used (with certain policy restrictions) to carry both transit and local traffic.

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

Provides flow control and sequencing for transmitted data over an end-to-end connection.

Transmission Control Protocol over IP (TCP/IP)

A protocol stack designed to connect different networks.

Transparent LAN Services (TLS)

A network application that provides a virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) the ability to transmit customer Ethernet packets across a shared network.

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)

A protocol that governs transferring files between nodes without protection against packet loss.

trunk

A logical group of ports that behaves like a single large port.

trunk port

On the Ethernet Routing Switch 8600, a trunk port is a port that connects to the service provider network such as the MPLS environment.

type of service (TOS)

A field in the IPv4 header that determines the

Class of Service prior to the standardization of

Differentiated Services.
