Point-to-multipoint is the most popular approach for wireless communications that have a large number of nodes, end destinations or end users. Point to Multipoint generally assumes there is a central base station to which remote subscriber units or customer premises equipment (CPE) (a term that was originally used in the wired telephone ...
In computer networking, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a data link layer (layer 2) communication protocol between two routers directly without any host or any other networking in between. [ 1 ] It can provide loop detection, authentication, transmission encryption, [ 2 ] and data compression. PPP is used over many types of physical networks ...
In telecommunications, a point-to-point connection refers to a communications connection between two communication endpoints or nodes. An example is a telephone call, in which one telephone is connected with one other, and what is said by one caller can only be heard by the other. This is contrasted with a point-to-multipoint or broadcast ...
RS-485, also known as TIA-485 (-A) or EIA-485, is a standard, originally introduced in 1983, defining the electrical characteristics of drivers and receivers for use in serial communications systems. Electrical signaling is balanced, and multipoint systems are supported. The standard is jointly published by the Telecommunications Industry ...
A point-to-multipoint link (or simply a multipoint) is a specific type of multipoint link which consists of a central connection endpoint (CE) that is connected to multiple peripheral CEs. All of the peripheral CEs receive any transmission of data that originates from the central CE while any transmission of data that originates from any of the ...
Developer (s) Cisco Systems. Introduction. 1994 [1] RFC (s) RFC1701, RFC1702, RFC2784. Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol developed by Cisco Systems that can encapsulate a wide variety of network layer protocols inside virtual point-to-point links or point-to-multipoint links over an Internet Protocol network.
H.323 is a recommendation from the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) that defines the protocols to provide audio-visual communication sessions on any packet network. [1] The H.323 standard addresses call signaling and control, multimedia transport and control, and bandwidth control for point-to-point and multi-point conferences.
Multicast was, for the most part, an afterthought in MPLS design. It was introduced by point-to-multipoint RSVP-TE. [28] It was driven by service provider requirements to transport broadband video over MPLS. The hub and spoke multipoint LSP was also introduced by IETF. HSMP LSP is mainly used for multicast, time synchronization, and other purposes.
