Service Specific Convergence Sublayer (SSCS)
The Service Specific Convergence Sublayer (SSCS) is a part of the ATM
Adaptation layer and handles timing and message identification depending on the
AAL type being used.
Services Layer
The layer immediately above the adaptation layer in the hierarchy of
telecommunications protocols. It is occupied by a particular client information
service which is to be mapped into the cell layer by the adaptation layer. Different
adaptation layers are needed for different services.
Session Control
The function of the Data Flow Control (DFC) layer is to control the responses
between FMDS pairs within sessions. The chief control block of the DFC is the
Session Control Block (SCB).
Setup
Setting up the bandwidth and permissible cell delay times at the beginning of a
call.
SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module)
DRAM that is mounted on a small printed circuit board that can be installed in an
Agilent probe. Also see DRAM.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The Simple Network Management Protocol provides requests and responses
between SNMP managers and SNMP agents. These transactions work with
network management information from Management Information Bases (MIBs)
SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol)
A protocol used for serial communications.
Slot
A position in the ATM cell stream. Vacant slots are padded with idle (or fill) cells.
SMB
Server Message Block
