early packet discard (EPD)

EAP

See external address plan (EAP) (page 51).

EBGP

See external border gateway protocol (EBGP) (page 51).

EBR

1See edge-based rerouting (EBR) (page 46).

2See equivalent bit rate (EBR) (page 49)

echo cancellation

A technique in voice networking that allows for the isolation and filtering of unwanted signal energy caused by echoes from the main transmitted signal.

ECR

See equivalent cell rate (ECR) (page 49).

edge-based rerouting (EBR)

Edge-based rerouting refers to procedures used in a PNNI network to recover and optimize active point-to-point SVC, SVP, soft PVC, and soft PVP connections.

EFCI

See explicit forward congestion indication (EFCI) (page 50).

EG

See external gateway (EG) (page 51).

EGP

See exterior gateway protocol (EGP) (page 51).
