packet virtual circuit
1Virtual Circuit Multiplexing — or VC MUX is one of the two (the other being LLC encapsulation) mechanisms for identifying the protocol carried in ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) frames specified by RFC 2684, Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM.With virtual circuit multiplexing …
2Virtual circuit — In telecommunications and computer networks, a virtual circuit (VC), synonymous to virtual connection and virtual channel, is a connection oriented communication service that is delivered by means of packet mode communication. After a connection… …
3Packet switching — is a digital networking communications method that groups all transmitted data – regardless of content, type, or structure – into suitably sized blocks, called packets. Packet switching features delivery of variable bit rate data streams… …
4Circuit switching — is a methodology of implementing a telecommunications network in which two network nodes establish a dedicated communications channel (circuit) through the network before the nodes may communicate. The circuit guarantees the full bandwidth of the …
5Packet Layer Protocol — or PLP is the network layer protocol for X.25 protocol. PLP manages the packet exchanges between DTE (data terminal) devices across VCs (virtual circuits). PLP also can be used on ISDN using Link Access Procedures, D channel (LAPD).There are 5… …
6Packet radio — is a form of digital data transmission used to link computers. The most common use of PKT is in amateur radio, to construct wireless computer networks. Its name is a reference to the use of packet switching between network nodes, which allows… …
7circuit switching — A temporary communications connection established as required between the sending and receiving nodes. Circuit switching is often used in modem communications over dial up telephone lines. It is also used in some privately maintained… …
8Packet switched network — A Packet Switched Network, or PSN, refers to the packet switched networks that existed before the Internet. The history of such networks can be divided into three eras:early networks before the introduction of X.25 and OSI,the X.25 era when many… …
9Packet Switch Stream — In the UK, PSS, was an X.25 based packet switched network, provided by the British Post Office Telecommunications and then British Telecom from 1980, onwards. After a period of pre operational testing with customers (mainly UK Universities and… …
10Virtual LAN — A virtual LAN, commonly known as a VLAN, is a group of hosts with a common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the Broadcast domain, regardless of their physical location. A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical… …
