against packet loss.

trunk

The generic term for a physical connection, not a Nortel Multiservice Switch
network-specific term.

trunk conditioning (TC)

A technique whereby a constant bit pattern is applied to specific time slots to
indicate downstream that the system has detected a fault in the upstream data
path.

trunking (acknowledged)

The receiving node confirms the quality of the received packets and requests
retransmission of corrupted packets.

trunking (unacknowledged)
