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. _______________________________________________ rrg mailing list rrg@irtf.org http://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/rrg
