membership. It is also used by connected routers to discover these group members.

Inverse ARP. Inverse Address Resolution Protocol. Enables routers to obtain the IP address of a known Ethernet address of a device associated with a virtual circuit. Method of building dynamic routes in a network.

IP. Internet Protocol. Part of the TCP/IP protocol. IP networks are connectionless, packet switching networks.

IP address. 32-bit address assigned to hosts using TCP/IP. An IP address contains four octets separated by periods, also known as a dotted quad address. Each address consists of a network number, an optional sub- network number and a host number. The network and sub-network numbers together are used for routing, while the host number is used to address an individual host within the network or sub-network.

IP SNAP. Sub-network Access Protocol. Internet protocol that operates between a network entity in the sub-network and a network entity in the end system. SNAP specifies a standard method of encapsulating IP datagrams and ARP messages on IEEE networks. The SNAP entity in the end system makes use of the services of the sub-network and performs three essential functions: data transfer, connection management and QOS selection.

LAN. Local Area Network. Privately owned network-connecting devices over a limited geographic area—usually limited to an office or office complex. Often connected to the Internet via IADs, with firewall software to limit access to the LAN by authorized users. May use TCP/IP or one of several other protocols.

LMI. Local Management Interface. A set of the following enhancements to the basic Frame Relay specification. Called LMT in ANSI terminology.

￿a keep-alive mechanism that verifies that data is flowing.

￿a multi-cast mechanism, which provides the network server with its local DLCI and the multi-cast DLCI.

￿Global addressing; this gives DLCIs global rather than local significance in Frame Relay networks.

￿a mechanism that provides an on-going status report on the DLCIs known to the switch.

MAC. Media Access Control. Lower of the two sub-layers of the data link layer defined by the IEEE.

MAC address. Standardized data link layer address that is required for every port or device that connects to a LAN. Other devices in the network use these addresses to locate specific ports in the network and to create and update routing tables and data structures. MAC addresses are six bytes long and are IEEE-controlled. Also known as a hardware address, a MAC-layer address, or a physical address.

MPEG. Moving Pictures Expert Group.

Notified Entry. IP address of the MGCP Call Agent; controls the call setup and teardown for all call features under MGCP.

OSI Reference Model. Network architectural model developed by ISO and ITU-T. The model consists of the following seven layers, each of which specifies particular network functions.
