Noel,
> I'll leave TTR and DFZ as an exercise for others.. :-)
Thank you for your contribution. I've included them and added a few.
Anyone else?
Tony
DFZ Default-Free Zone: The collection of autonomous systems that do
not require a default route to forward a packet to any
destination.
EID Endpoint IDentifer: The precise definition varies depending on
the proposal.
ETR Egress Tunnel Router: In a system which tunnels traffic across
the existing infrastructure by encapsulating it, the device close
to the actual ultimate destination which decapsulates the traffic
before forwarding it to that ultimate destination.
FIB Forwarding Information Base: The forwarding table, used in the
data plane of routers to make forwarding decisions.
ITR Ingress Tunnel Router: In a system which tunnels traffic across
the existing infrastructure by encapsulating it, the device close
to the actual original source which encapsulates the traffic
before using the tunnel to send it to the appropriate ETR.
PA Provider Assigned: Address space assigned by the service provider.
PI Provider Independent: Address space independent of any service
provider.
PMTUD Path Maximum Transmission Unit Discovery: The process or
mechanism that determines the largest packet that can be sent
between a given source and destination with being either i)
fragmented (IPv4 only), or ii) discarded (if not fragmentable)
because it is too large to be sent down one link in the path from
the source to the destination.
RIB Routing Information Base. The routing table, used in the
control plane of routers to exchange routing information and
construct the FIB.
RLOC Routing LOCator: The precise definition varies dependeing on
the proposal.
xTR Tunnel Router: In some systems, the term used to describe a
device which can function as both an ITR and an ETR.
