In Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), a P router or provider router is a label switch router (LSR) that functions as a transit router of the core network. [1] The P router is typically connected to one or more PE routers. Here's one scenario: A customer who has facilities in LA and Atlanta wants to connect these sites over an MPLS VPN ...
In telecommunications, a network-to-network interface (NNI) is an interface that specifies signaling and management functions between two networks.An NNI circuit can be used for interconnection of signalling (e.g., SS7), Internet Protocol (IP) (e.g., MPLS) or ATM networks.
A provider edge router (PE router) is a router between one network service provider's area and areas administered by other network providers. [1] A network provider is usually an Internet service provider as well (or only that). The term PE router covers equipment capable of a broad range of routing protocols, notably:
The Assigned field contains a number assigned by the service provider. Normally the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) used by the provider's routers only looks at the four-octet IP address, but the BGP Multiprotocol Extensions allow BGP to view the entire 12-octet VPN-IPv4 address, and carry routes from multiple "address families". If the route ...
An individual’s PIN is the four-digit code they set after opening a debit account with their bank of choice. It is used as a layer of authentication when they perform an electronic transaction ...
A personal identification number (PIN; sometimes redundantly a PIN code or PIN number) is a numeric (sometimes alpha-numeric) passcode used in the process of authenticating a user accessing a system. The PIN has been the key to facilitating the private data exchange between different data-processing centers in computer networks for financial ...
Carrier Routing System (CRS) is a modular and distributed core router developed by Cisco Systems Inc that enables service providers to deliver data, voice, and video services over a scalable IP Next-Generation Network (NGN) infrastructure. In a network topology, these routers are generally positioned in the core or edge of a service provider ...
A circuit ID is a company-specific identifier assigned to a data or voice network connection between two locations. This connection, often called a circuit, may then be leased to a customer referring to that ID. In this way, the circuit ID is similar to a serial number on any product sold from a retailer to a customer.
