CLIP (Classical IP)
IP over ATM conforming to RFC 1577.
CLP
Cell Loss Priority
Collision
The result of two or more nodes on a LAN transmitting at the same time,
producing a garbled transmission.
Common Part Convergence Sublayer (CPCS)
The Common Part Convergence Sublayer (CPCS) is a part of the ATM
Adaptation layer and provides message identification and error detection
depending on the AAL type being used.
Concentrator
An FDDI or Token-Ring network device that connects as a Dual Attachment
Station and has connections for additional devices (such as; stations,
concentrators, or bridges).
Connectionless-mode Network Protocol (CLNP)
The Connectionless-mode Network Protocol is a Network layer protocol which
has been defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). A
complete description of the protocol is contained in ISO 8473, Information
processing systems - Data communications - Protocol for providing the
connectionless-mode network service.
Console
The ASCII terminal, or PC emulating an ASCII terminal that is connected to the
probe and used to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the probe.
Convergence Layer
The Convergence Layer maps ATM cells into the transmission medium being
used. It is responsible for identifying the beginning of cells (cell delineation), and
for some simple management functions corresponding to the cell mapping. It also
decouples the rate of cell transmissions from the physical media by inserting and
removing idle cells.
