Panasonic 1200N manual Trailer, Transit Delay, Trap, Trm

T Glossary

Trail

An entity that transfers information provided by a client layer network between access points in a server layer network. The transported information is monitored at the termination points.

Trailer

Protocol control information located at the end of a PDU.

Transit Delay

The time difference between the instant at which the first bit of a PDU crosses one designated boundary and the instant at which the last bit of the same PDU crosses a second designated boundary.

Trap

A function performed by switch software to catch or trap errors, changes, failures, or problems with the switch software or hardware. The trap information is sent to a network management station.

Trm

An ABR service parameter that provides an upper bound on the time between forward RM-cells for an active source. It is 100 times a power of two with a range of 100*2-7 to 100*20

TS

Transport Stream: One of two types of streams produced by the MPEG-2 Systems layer. The Transport Stream consists of 188 byte packets and can contain multiple programs.

TS

Traffic Shaping: Traffic shaping is a mechanism that alters the traffic characteristics of a stream of cells on a connection to achieve better network efficiency, while meeting the QoS objectives, or to ensure conformance at a subsequent interface. Traffic shaping must maintain cell sequence integrity on a connection. Shaping modifies traffic characteristics of a cell flow with the consequence of increasing the mean Cell Transfer Delay.

TS

Time Stamp: Time Stamping is used on OAM cells to compare time of entry of cell to time of exit of cell to be used to determine the cell transfer delay of the connection.
