conversion, clock data recovery, dejitter, and decoding for the accessed E1 signals. Then, the
signals are sent into the system-side processing module, which frames the signals, encapsulates
the IMA, CES, and ML-PPP services in PWE3, and schedules PWs. Finally, this module sends
the signals in Ethernet packets to the backplane interface module.

the optical interface and then push the fiber jumper with proper force into the connector.
l To remove the LC/PC fiber jumper, press the clip first, push the fiber connector inward
slightly, and then pull out the connector.
l To insert the fiber jumper into the FC/PC connector, align the head of the fiber jumper with
the optical interface carefully, to avoid any damage to the internal ceramic pipe. After
inserting the fiber jumper to the bottom of the optical interface, clockwise rotate the external
screw to tighten the fiber jumper into the optical interface.
l To remove the fiber jumper, first anticlockwise rotate the external screw of the optical
interface. When the screw is loosened, remove the fiber jumper with proper force from the
optical interface.
l To insert the fiber jumper into the SC/PC connector, align the head of the fiber jumper with

Address Resolution Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is an Internet Protocol used to map IP addresses to
Protocol MAC addresses. It allows hosts and routers to determine the link layer addresses through
ARP requests and ARP responses. The address resolution is a process in which the host
converts the target IP address into a target MAC address before transmitting a frame.
The basic function of the ARP is to query the MAC address of the target equipment
through its IP address.
administrative unit The information structure which provides adaptation between the higher order path layer
and the multiplex section layer. It consists of an information payload (the higher order
VC) and an AU pointer which indicates the offset of the payload frame start relative to
the multiplex section frame start.

alarm automatic report When an alarm is generated on the device side, the alarm is reported to the Network
Management System (NMS) . Then, an alarm panel prompts and the user can view the
details of the alarm.
alarm cascading The shunt-wound output of the alarm signals of several subracks or cabinets.
alarm cause A single disturbance or fault may lead to the detection of multiple defects. A fault cause
is the result of a correlation process which is intended to identify the defect that is
representative of the disturbance or fault that is causing the problem.
alarm clearance An operation performed on an alarm. Through this operation, the status of an alarm is
changed from uncleared to cleared, which indicates that the fault causing the alarm has
been rectified.
alarm indication signal A code sent downstream in a digital network as an indication that an upstream failure
has been detected and alarmed. It is associated with multiple transport layers.
alarm inversion For the port that has already been configured but has no service, this function can be
used to avoid generating relevant alarm information, thus preventing alarm interference.
The alarm report condition of the NE port is related to the alarm inverse mode (not
inverse, automatic recovery and manual recovery) setting of the NE and the alarm
inversion status (Enable and Disable) setting of the port. When the alarm inversion mode
of NE is set to no inversion, alarms of the port will be reported as usual no matter whatever
the inversion status of the port is. When the alarm inversion mode of the NE is set to
automatic recovery, and the alarm inversion state of the port is set to Enabled, then the
alarm of the port will be suppressed. The alarm inversion status of the port will
automatically recover to "not inverse" after the alarm ends. For the port that has already

assured forwarding One of the four per-hop behaviors (PHB) defined by the Diff-Serv workgroup of IETF.
It is suitable for certain key data services that require assured bandwidth and short delay.
For traffic within the bandwidth limit, AF assures quality in forwarding. For traffic that
exceeds the bandwidth limit, AF degrades the service class and continues to forward the
traffic instead of discarding the packets.
asymmetric digital A technology for transmitting digital information at a high bandwidth on existing phone
subscriber line lines to homes and businesses. Unlike regular dialup phone service, ADSL provides
continuously-available, "always on" connection. ADSL is asymmetric in that it uses most
of the channel to transmit downstream to the user and only a small part to receive
information from the user. ADSL simultaneously accommodates analog (voice)
information on the same line. ADSL is generally offered at downstream data rates from
512 Kbps to about 6 Mbps.
asynchronization Asynchronization does not use the exact data signals timed by the clock. The signals

100BASE-TX (2 pairs of data twisted-pair cables), and 100BASE-FX (2-core optical
fibers).
fast reroute A technology to locally protect MPLS TE network. Only the interface with the speed of
100 Mbps can support FRR. If the switching speed of FRR can reach 50ms, the packet
loss decreases when some faults occur on the network. FRR is applicable to services that
are very sensitive to packet loss and delay. When a fault is detected at the lower layer,
the lower layer informs the upper routing system of the fault. Then the routing system
forwards packets through a backup link. In this manner, the impact of the link fault on
services is minimized. FRR is local and temporary. Once the protected LSP recovers or
a new LSP is set up, traffic is switched to the original or the new LSP. After you configure
FRR on LSP and some link or some node on LSP is invalid, traffic is switched to the
protected link and a new LSP is trying to be set up on the LSP ingress.

Fair Queuing (WFQ). The preceding two scheduling modes occupy a certain bandwidth
each; they can act at the same time without interfering each other.
Forward It is the direction that traffic flows along the detected LSP.
forward defect Forward defect indication (FDI) is generated and traced forward to the sink node of the
indication LSP by the node that first detects defects. It includes fields to indicate the nature of the
defect and its location. Its primary purpose is to suppress alarms being raised at affected
higher level client LSPs and (in turn) their client layers.
forward information In data communication, a table of information that provides network hardware (bridges
base and routers) with the directions needed to forward packets of data to locations on other
networks. The information contained in a routing table differs according to whether it is
used by a bridge or a router. A bridge relies on both the source (originating) and
destination addresses to determine where and how to forward a packet.
forwarding equivalence As a class-based forwarding technology, MPLS classifies the packets with the same
class forwarding mode, and the process is called Forwarding Equivalence Class. Packets with
the same FEC are processed similarly on an MPLS network. It is flexible to divide FECs,
and it can be a combination of the source address, the destination address, the source
port, the destination port, the protocol type, the VPN, and so on.
Forwarding plane Also referred to as the data plane. The forwarding plane is connection-oriented, and can
be used in Layer 2 networks such as an ATM network.

frame relay A packet-switching protocol for use on WANs (wide area networks). Frame relay
transmits variable-length packets at up to 2 Mbps over predetermined, set paths known
as PVCs (permanent virtual circuits). It is a variant of X.25 but dispenses with some of
X.25's error detection for the sake of speed. See also ATM (definition 1), X.25.
Free-run mode An operating condition of a clock, the output signal of which is strongly influenced by
the oscillating element and not controlled by servo phase-locking techniques. In this
mode the clock has never had a network reference input, or the clock has lost external
reference and has no access to stored data, that could be acquired from a previously
connected external reference. Free-run begins when the clock output no longer reflects
the influence of a connected external reference, or transition from it. Free-run terminates
when the clock output has achieved lock to an external reference.
FRR See fast reroute

full-duplex A full-duplex, or sometimes double-duplex system, allows communication in both
directions, and, unlike half-duplex, allows this to happen simultaneously. Land-line
telephone networks are full-duplex, since they allow both callers to speak and be heard
at the same time. A good analogy for a full-duplex system would be a two-lane road with
one lane for each direction.
Gateway IP When an NE accesses a remote network management system or NE, a router can be used
to enable the TCP/IP communication. In this case, the IP address of the router is the
gateway IP. Only the gateway NE requires the IP address. The IP address itself cannot
identify the uniqueness of an NE. The same IP addresses may exist in different TCP/IP
networks. An NE may have multiple IP addresses, for example, one IP address of the
network and one IP address of the Ethernet port.
gateway network A network element that is used for communication between the NE application layer and
element the NM application layer

gigabit Ethernet GE adopts the IEEE 802.3z. GE is compatible with 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s Ethernet.
It runs at 1000 Mbit/s. Gigabit Ethernet uses a private medium, and it does not support
coaxial cables or other cables. It also supports the channels in the bandwidth mode. If
Gigabit Ethernet is, however, deployed to be the private bandwidth system with a bridge
(switch) or a router as the center, it gives full play to the performance and the bandwidth.
In the network structure, Gigabit Ethernet uses full duplex links that are private, causing
the length of the links to be sufficient for backbone applications in a building and campus.

Internet protocol In the Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) system, video is transmitted in IP packets.
television Also called "TV over IP", IPTV uses streaming video techniques to deliver scheduled
TV programs or video-on-demand (VOD). Unlike transmitting over the air or through
cable to a TV set, IPTV uses the transport protocol of the Internet for delivery and requires
either a computer and software media player or an IPTV set-top box to decode the images
in real time.
Internet Protocol The current version of the Internet Protocol (IP). IPv4 utilizes a 32bit address which is
version 4 assigned to hosts. An address belongs to one of five classes (A, B, C, D, or E) and is
written as 4 octets separated by periods and may range from 0.0.0.0 through to
255.255.255.255. Each IPv4 address consists of a network number, an optional
subnetwork number, and a host number. The network and subnetwork numbers together
are used for routing, and the host number is used to address an individual host within the
network or subnetwork.
Internet protocol A update version of IPv4. It is also called IP Next Generation (IPng). The specifications
version 6 and standardizations provided by it are consistent with the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF). IPv6 is also called. It is a new version of the Internet Protocol, designed
as the successor to IPv4. The difference between IPv6 and IPv4 is that an IPv4 address

switching mechanisms. A label-switched path can be chosen dynamically, based on
normal routing mechanisms, or through configuration.
label switching router Basic element of MPLS network. All LSRs support the MPLS protocol. The LSR is
composed of two parts: control unit and forwarding unit. The former is responsible for
allocating the label, selecting the route, creating the label forwarding table, creating and
removing the label switch path; the latter forwards the labels according to groups
received in the label forwarding table.

media access control A protocol at the media access control sublayer. The protocol is at the lower part of the
data link layer in the OSI model and is mainly responsible for controlling and connecting

checks whether to be able to transmit data. If the data can be transmitted, certain control
information is added to the data, and then the data and the control information are
transmitted in a specified format to the physical layer. When receiving data, the MAC

Preemption During the process of establishing CR-LSP, if you cannot fine one path that satisfies
requirements, you can remove another established path and take up its bandwidth
resource. That is called preemption. CR-LSP check whether the path can be preempted
according to two priority features, that is, Setup Priority and Holding Priority.
Preemption is activated by the Resv message of RSVP-TE. Only when the priority of
Path1, which you want to set up, is higher than that of Path2, you can preempt the
bandwidth source of Path2 for Path1.

priority queue A priority queue is an abstract data type in computer programming that supports the
following three operations: (1) InsertWithPriority: add an element to the queue with an
associated priority (2) GetNext: remove the element from the queue that has the highest
priority, and return it (also known as "PopElement(Off)", or "GetMinimum") (3)
PeekAtNext (optional): look at the element with highest priority without removing it
priority queuing The Priority Queuing (PQ) is a queue scheduling algorithm based on the absolute priority.
According to the PQ algorithm, services of higher priorities are ensured with greater
bandwidth, lower latency, and less jitter. Packets of lower priorities must wait to be sent
till all packets of higher priorities are sent. In this manner, services of higher priorities
are handled earlier than others.

pulse per second Pulse per second, which, strictly speaking, is not a time synchronization signal. This is
because 1PPS provides only the "gauge" corresponding to the UTC second, but does not
provide the information about the day, month, or year. Therefore, 1PPS is used as the
reference for frequency synchronization. On certain occasions, 1PPS can also be used
on other interfaces for high precision timing.
QinQ A layer 2 tunnel protocol based on IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation. It encapsulates the tag
of the user's private virtual local area network (VLAN) into the tag of the public VLAN.

S
S-VLAN service VLAN
S1 byte In an SDH network, each network element traces step by step to the same clock reference
source through a specific clock synchronization path, thus realizing the synchronization
of the whole network. If a clock reference source traced by the NE is missing, this NE
will trace another clock reference source of a lower level. To implement protection
switching of clocks in the whole network, the NE must learn about clock quality
information of the clock reference source it traces. Therefore, ITU-T defines S1 byte to
transmit network synchronization status information. It uses the lower four bits of the
multiplex section overhead S1 byte to indicate 16 types of synchronization quality
grades. Auto protection switching of clocks in a synchronous network can be
implemented using S1 byte and a proper switching protocol.

signal cable.
signal degrade A signal indicating the associated data has degraded in the sense that a degraded defect
(e.g., dDEG) condition is active.
static route A route that cannot adapt to the change of network topology. Operators must configure
it manually. When a network topology is simple, the network can work in the normal
state if only the static route is configured. It can improve network performance and ensure
bandwidth for important applications. Its disadvantage is as follows: When a network is
faulty or the topology changes, the static route does not change automatically. It must
be changed by the operators.

time line is switched back to the original status after protection switching occurs in the MSP
sub-network.

Message Nodes on an SDH network and a synchronization network acquire upstream clock
information through this message. Then the nodes can perform proper operations on their
clocks, such as tracing, switching, or converting to holdoff, and forward the
synchronization information to downstream nodes.
Synchronize Alarm When synchronizing the alarms, the network management system checks the alarms in
the network management system database and the alarms in the NE. If they are
inconsistent, the alarms in the NE are uploaded to the network management system
database and overwrite the old ones.
synchronize NE time To send the system time of the server of the network management system to NEs so as
to synchronize all NEs with the server.
synchronous digital A transmission scheme that follows ITU-T G.707, G.708, and G.709. It defines the
hierarchy transmission features of digital signals such as frame structure, multiplexing mode,
transmission rate level, and interface code. SDH is an important part of ISDN and B-
ISDN. It interleaves the bytes of low-speed signals to multiplex the signals to high-speed
counterparts, and the line coding of scrambling is only used only for signals. SDH is
suitable for the fiber communication system with high speed and a large capacity since
it uses synchronous multiplexing and flexible mapping structure.

over one channel.
Time Slot Continuously repeating interval of time or a time period in which two devices are able
to interconnect.
time to live A technique used in best-effort delivery systems to prevent packets that loop endlessly.
The TTL is set by the sender to the maximum time the packet is allowed to be in the
network. Each router in the network decrements the TTL field when the packet arrives,
and discards any packet if the TTL counter reaches zero.
timing loop A network condition where a slave clock providing synchronization becomes locked to
its own timing signal. It is generally created when the slave clock timing information is
looped back to its own input, either directly or via other network equipment. Timing
loops should be prevented in networks by careful network design.

token bucket algorithm The token bucket is a container for tokens. The capacity of a token bucket is limited, and
the number of tokens determines the traffic rate of permitted packets. The token bucket
polices the traffic. Users place the tokens into the bucket regularly according to the preset
rate. If the tokens in the bucket exceed the capacity, no tokens can be put in. Packets can
be forwarded when the bucket has tokens, otherwise they cannot be transferred till there
are new tokens in the bucket. This scheme adjusts the rate of packet input.

the specified protection board and the protection board takes over the job of the working
board. After the fault is cleared, the service is automatically switched to the original
board

locates at the user/network interface, while the NPC at the network interface.
User Datagram A TCP/IP standard protocol that allows an application program on one device to send a
Protocol datagram to an application program on another. User Datagram Protocol (UDP) uses IP
to deliver datagrams. UDP provides application programs with the unreliable
connectionless packet delivery service. Thus, UDP messages can be lost, duplicated,
delayed, or delivered out of order. UDP is used to try to transmit the data packet, that is,
the destination device does not actively confirm whether the correct data packet is
received.

Wander The long-term variations of the significant instants of a digital signal from their ideal
position in time (where long-term implies that these variations are of frequency less than
10Hz).
wavelength The distance between successive peaks or troughs in a periodic signal that is propagated
through space. Wavelength is symbolized by the Greek letter lambda and can be
calculated as speed divided by frequency.
wavelength division A technology that utilizes the characteristics of broad bandwidth and low attenuation of
multiplexing single mode optical fiber, uses multiple wavelengths as carriers, and allows multiple
channels to transmit simultaneously in a single fiber.
WDM See wavelength division multiplexing
weighted fair queuing A fair queue scheduling algorithm based on bandwidth allocation weights. This
scheduling algorithm allocates the total bandwidth of an interface to queues, according
to their weights and schedules the queues cyclically. In this manner, packets of all priority
queues can be scheduled.
weighted random early A packet loss algorithm used for congestion avoidance. It can prevent the global TCP
detection synchronization caused by traditional tail-drop. WRED is favorable for the high-priority
packet when calculating the packet loss ratio.
WFQ See weighted fair queuing
wide area network A network composed of computers which are far away from each other which are
physically connected through specific protocols. WAN covers a broad area, such as a
province, a state or even a country.
winding pipe A tool for fiber routing, which acts as the corrugated pipe.
Working path The channels allocated to transport the normal traffic.
WRED See weighted random early detection
error packets The packets with received messages not translated or translated incorrectly.
X
X digital subscriber line A family of bandwidth-efficient modulation techniques, developed to achieve extremely
high data transfer rates over twisted- pair cables. While the letter "X" represents a
variable, DSL stands for "Digital Subscriber Line". XDSL techniques may offer several
benefits such as, capability to offer high-speed data services to customers, low cost by
using existing infrastructure and switching congestion relief caused by existing data
users.
