A service offered on Nortel Multiservice Switch nodes that allows the user to send bit or HDLC data across the network without interpretation. See also bit- transparent data service (BTDS) (page 20) and
transport resource manager (TRM)
A base routing system that acts as an intermediary between links and routing systems. All Nortel Multiservice Switch trunks and DPN gateways on the Multiservice Switch node are grouped into link groups by TRM and are presented to the address plan managers (for example, topology and DPN EAP) that use them. TRM is also involved in the multiplexing of logical network numbers on the links. A third function of TRM is to maintain the link and link group packet forwarding tables on all processors in a Multiservice Switch shelf. TRM also directs some of the maintenance of forwarding tables for various address plans on the FPs of the module.
