ADSL :
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. A digital technology that allows the use of a copper line to support high bandwidths in one direction and a lesser bandwidth in the other.
ATM :
Asynchronous Transfer Mode, a standard for cell- based high speed data communications.
Bottleneck :
The part of a network where the economics of building alternative networks are such that effective competition is unlikely to emerge.
Broadband :
A data connection defined as ‘always-on’, and capable of providing a download speed of a minimum of 256kbit/s.
Bundling :
Linking the purchase of one product or service to another, either by selling as a package, or through the use of discounts for joint purchasing.
Core network :
The centralised part of a network, characterised by a high level of traffic aggregation, high capacity links and a relatively small number of nodes.
CLI : Caller Line Identification
COS :
Class of Service e.g. Committed Access Rate (CAR), Waited Random Early Detection (WRED), Waited Fair Queuing (WFQ) in context of MPLS
DEL : Direct Exchange Line
DSL : Digital Subscriber Line.
E.164 :
E.164 is an ITU-T recommendation which defines the international public telecommunication numbering plan used in the PSTN and some other data networks. It also defines the format of telephone numbers.
ENUM
Electronic Numbering. A suite of protocols to unify the telephone system with the Internet by using E.164 addresses with DNS and IP addressing system.
ERNET : Education and Research Network
Ex ante : Before an event takes place.
Ex post : After an event takes place.
FCC :
Federal Communications Commission. The US regulatory body that regulates all inter-state and foreign communications by wire, radio and television. Intrastate communications are regulated by state public utilities commissions.
