Each accessible traffic object contains an identifier to its QCL. The privileges determine specific traffic object to specific
QoS class.
QL
QL In SyncE this is the Quality Level of a given clock source. This is received on a port in a SSM indicating the quality
of the clock received in the port.
QoS
QoS is an acronym for Quality of Service. It is a method to guarantee a bandwidth relationship between individual
applications or protocols.
A communications network transports a multitude of applications and data, including high-quality video and
delay-sensitive data such as real-time voice. Networks must provide secure, predictable, measurable, and sometimes
guaranteed services.
Achieving the required QoS becomes the secret to a successful end-to-end business solution. Therefore, QoS is the
set of techniques to manage network resources.
R
RARP
RARP is an acronym for Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. It is a protocol that is used to obtain an IP address for a
given hardware address, such as an Ethernet address. RARP is the complement of ARP.
RADIUS
RADIUS is an acronym for Remote Authentication Dial In User Service. It is a networking protocol that provides
centralized access, authorization and accounting management for people or computers to connect and use a network
service.
RDI
RDI is an acronym for Remote Defect Indication. It is a OAM functionallity that is used by a MEP to indicate defect
detected to the remote peer MEP
Router Port
A router port is a port on the Ethernet switch that leads switch towards the Layer 3 multicast device.
RSTP
In 1998, the IEEE with document 802.1w introduced an evolution of STP: the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, which
provides for faster spanning tree convergence after a topology change. Standard IEEE 802.1D-2004 now incorporates
RSTP and obsoletes STP, while at the same time being backwards-compatible with STP.
