List of terms 413

IP addresses to unique IP addresses before sending out packets. NAT is

practical when only a few users in a domain need to communicate outside

of the domain at the same time.

NCS Short for Network Connection Server. It provides a TPS interface to the

NRS, allowing the TPS to query the NRS using theUNIStim protocol. It is a

remote system node IP based on BUID (Branch Ofﬁce), virtual ofﬁce user

(network wide virtual ofﬁce login), and NUID (Geographic Redundancy). It

also checks remote system status and provides it to the TPS for further

analysis. The NCS is required only for set redirection, while the rest of the

NRS requires for calls. It is part of NRS H.323 Gatekeeper and is not part of

NRS SIP proxy. It is required to support the MG 1000B, Virtual Ofﬁce, and

Geographic Redundancy features.

NRS Short for Network Routing Service, which refers to the software application

where all systems in the network are registered. The NRS consists of the

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Redirect Server and the H.323 Gatekeeper,

which includes the Network Connection Service (NCS).

PSTN Short for Public Switched Telephone Network, which refers to the

international telephone system based on copper wires carrying analog

voice data. This is in contrast to newer telephone networks based on digital

technologies, such as ISDN and FDDI.

Telephoneservice carried bythe PSTN is often called plain oldtelephone

service (POTS).

QoS Short for Quality of Service, a networking term that speciﬁes a guaranteed

throughput level. One of the biggest advantages of ATM over competing

technologies, such as Frame Relay and FastEther net, is that it supports

QoS levels. This enables ATM providers to guarantee to their customers

that end-to-end latency does not exceed a speciﬁed level.

There are several methods to provide QoS, as follows:

•high bandwidth

•packet classiﬁcation

•DiffServ

•IP fragmentation

•trafﬁc shaping

•use of the platform’s queuing mechanisms
