MID
Message Identifier: The message identifer is used to associate ATM cells that carry segments from the same higher layer packet.
MIR
Maximum Information Rate: Refer to PCR.
Mrm
An ABR service parameter that controls allocation of bandwidth between forward
MMF
Multimode Fiberoptic Cable: Fiberoptic cable in which the signal or light propagates in multiple modes or paths. Since these paths may have varying lengths, a transmitted pulse of light may be received at different times and smeared to the point that pulses may interfere with surrounding pulses. This may cause the signal to be difficult or impossible to receive. This pulse dispersion sometimes limits the distance over which a MMF link can operate.
MPEG
Motion Picture Experts Group: An ISO Standards group dealing with video and audio compression techniques and mechanisms for multiplexing and synchronizing various media streams.
MPOA
Multiprotocol over ATM: An effort taking place in the ATM Forum to standardize protocols for the purpose of running multiple network layer protocols over ATM.
MPOA Client
A device which implements the client side of one or more of the MPOA protocols, (i.e., is a SCP client and/or an RDP client. An MPOA Client is either an Edge Device Functional Group (EDFG) or a Host Behavior Functional Group (HBFG).
MPOA Server
An MPOA Server is any one of an ICFG or RSFG.
MPOA Service Area
The collection of server functions and their clients. A collection of physical devices consisting of an MPOA server plus the set of clients served by that server.
