Glossary A AAL ATM adaptation layer. Service-dependent sublayer of the data link layer. The AAL accepts data from different applications and presents it to the ATM layer in the form of 48-byte ATM payload segments. AALs consist of two sublayers:the convergence sublayer and the segmentation and reassembly sublayer. Four types of AAL recommended by the ITU-T are AAL1, AAL2, AAL3/4, and AAL5; the Cisco uBR10012 uses AAL5. Access list List kept by routers to control access to or from the router

Glossary M M13 Generic term for equipment that multiplexes DS1s into DS3s. Sometimes used to describe a specific DS3 multiplex format. Some standards use this term to describe a synchronous multiplexing format also know as SYNTRAN. In many cases M13 does not refer to the SYNTRAN format, but instead refers to the format also known as M23. M23 A method of multiplexing four DS1 signals into a DS2 signal, then multiplexing seven DS2 signals into a DS3 signal. MAC Media Access Control. Lower of

Glossary Wide-area network See WAN. WRED Weighted Random Early Detection. RED uses an algorithm to randomly discard packets.The result of the drop is that the source detects the dropped traffic and slows its transmission. WRED combines the capabilities of the RED algorithm with IP precedence. This combination provides for preferential traffic handling for higher-priority packets. It can selectively discard lower-priority traffic when the interface starts to get congested and provide differen
