C Glossary

CRM

Cell Rate Margin: This is a measure of the difference between the effective bandwidth allocation and the allocation for sustainable rate in cells per second.

CRS

Cell Relay Service: A carrier service which supports the receipt and transmission of ATM cells between end users in compliance with ATM standards and implementation specifications.

CS

Convergence Sublayer: The general procedures and functions that convert between ATM and non-ATM formats. This describes the functions of the upper half of the AAL layer. This is also used to describe the conversion functions between non- ATM protocols such as frame relay or SMDS and ATM protocols above the AAL layer.

CSA

Canadian Standard Association: A non-profit, independent organization which operates a listing service for electrical and electronic materials and equipment.

CSU

Channel Service Unit: An interface for digital leased lines which performs loopback testing and line conditioning.

CT

Conformance Test: Testing to determine whether an implementation complies with the specifications of a standard and exhibits the behaviors mandated by that standard.

CTD

Cell Transfer Delay: This is defined as the elapsed time between a cell exit event at the measurement point 1 (e.g., at the source UNI) and the corresponding cell entry event at measurement point 2 (e.g., the destination UNI) for a particular connection. The cell transfer delay between two measurement points is the sum of the total inter-ATM node transmission delay and the total ATM node processing delay.
