List of terms

static route

A static IP route is a provisioned IP route. The provisioning information includes a destination IP address, subnet mask, cost of the route (metric), whether it is protected or not, and one or more NextHops on the path to destination of the IP route

statistic

Nortel Multiservice Switch system has three categories of statistics, which consist of counters and gauges (for example, byte counts and processor and link utilization):

•statistics for network engineering and long-term planning activities (these are gathered at regular intervals and are usually processed offline)

•real-time statistics for day-to-day troubleshooting activities (these are required in when problems arise)

•statistics for billing and customer reporting activities for each call

statistics collection interval

The 15-minute interval during which spooled statistics are collected. This interval is based on network time and occurs across the network on the hour and 15, 30, and 45 minutes past the hour.

status

An operational value giving different information than the state value.

STM-1

Synchronous transport module level 1. Equivalent of STS-3/STS-3c.

stratum-3 clock

Timing sources for networks are often described in terms of stratum levels. The different stratum clock sources define different levels of accuracy. A Stratum-3 clock has an accuracy of ±1.6 bits in 109.

STS-1

Synchronous Transport Signal level 1. The basic logical building block signal with a rate of 51.840 Mbit/s.

STS-N

Synchronous Transport Signal level N. The signal is obtained by byte interleaving N STS-1 signals together. The rate of the STS-N is N times 51.840 Mbit/s.

stub network

An OSPF network with only one OSPF router.
