A
access control entry (ACE)
One of the filter rules that comprise an access
control list (ACL). A filter rule statement defines
a pattern (in a packet) and the desired behavior
for packets that carry the pattern. When the
packets match an ACE rule, the specified action
executes.
access control list (ACL)
An ordered list of filter rules referred to as
access control entries. The ACEs provide
specific actions, such as dropping packets within
a specified IP range, or a specific Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) or User Datagram
Protocol (UDP) port or port range. When an
ingress or egress packet meets the match
criteria specified in one or more ACEs within an
ACL, the corresponding action executes.
access control template (ACT)
Defines the selection of match fields for a given
ACL. Before you add an ACE to an ACL, you
must first associate the ACL with an existing
ACT.
add/drop multiplexer (ADM)
A network element in which facilities are
added, dropped, or passed directly through for
transmission to other network elements.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
Maps an IP address to a physical machine
address, for example, maps an IP address to an
Ethernet media across control (MAC) address.

14 A
address resolution unit (ARU)
An application specific integrated circuit (ASIC)
that makes forwarding decisions that do not
require CPU activity and, therefore; does not
adversely affect forwarding speed.
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
A privacy protocol. AES is the current encryption
standard (FIPS-197) intended for use by U.S.
government organizations to protect sensitive
information.
aggregate
A prefix length that is formed by combining
several specific prefixes. The resulting prefix is
used to combine blocks of address space into a
single routing announcement.
American Standard Code for Information Interchange
(ASCII)
A code for representing characters in computers.
ASCII uses uppercase and lowercase alphabetic
letters, numeric digits, and special symbols.
application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC)
A application-specific integrated circuit
developed to perform more quickly and efficiently
than a generic processor.
area border router (ABR)
A router attached to two or more areas inside an
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) network. ABRs
play an important role in OSPF networks by
condensing the amount of disseminated OSPF
information.
asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL)
A standard that allows digital broadband (over 6
Mbit/s) signals and plain old telephone service to
transmit up to 12 000 feet over a twisted copper
pair.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
A transfer mode that organizes information into
cells and the recurrence of cells depends on the
required or instantaneous bit rate.

attenuation
The decrease in signal strength in an optical fiber
caused by absorption and scattering.
attribute
A unit of data that is used by BGP to describe
any of the following prefixes: AS-PATH,
LOCAL-PREF, NEXT-HOP, and so on.
automatic protection switching (APS)
A Synchronous Optical Network (SONET)
feature that protects against line failure.
AS (autonomous system)
A set of routers under a single technical
administration, using a single IGP and common
metrics to route packets within the AS, and using
an EGP to route packets to other ASs.
AS confederation
A single logical AS that comprises multiple
sub-ASs to ensure scalability.
autonomous system border router (ASBR)
A router attached at the edge of an OSPF
network. An ASBR uses one or more interfaces
that run an interdomain routing protocol such
as BGP. In addition, a router distributing static
routes or Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
routes into OSPF is considered an ASBR.
ASN (autonomous system number)
A two-byte number that is used to identify a
specific AS.

BAP memory controller (BMC)
A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)
device on the R module.
basic rate interface (BRI)
A type of Integrated Services Digital Network
(ISDN) access provided by a set of time division
multiplexed digital channels that include two
B-channels at 64 kbit/s (for digitized voice and
data), one D-channel at 16 kbit/s (for signaling
information), and one or more maintenance
channels.
Baysecure Access Control (BSAC)
A Nortel Remote Authentication Dial-In User
Service (RADIUS) server.
