Hi,
Its a networking term that identifies the address as terminating on
your site - as opposed to theirs, its defined as below and is used by
anyone in the networking industry not just telstra. Its starting to
pop up more and more nowadays because adsl equipment means that the IP
address actually terminates on your modem as opposed to analog modems
where the IP address terminates at the ISP's rack of modems.
