Q

LERG

A
  • Local Exchange Routing Guide
  • Contains information on every telephone switch in North America and he numbers they cover
  • Teclordia maintains the database
19
Q

Route Reflector

A
  • Ease the full mesh limitations of iBGP

* Allows one router to advertise, or reflect, iBGP routes to other iBGP speakers.

20
Q

B8ZS

A
  • Bipolar 8-Zero Substitution
  • Allows the use of the full 64 Kbps for each channel in a T1
  • Encoding method used on T1 circuits that inserts two successive ones of the same voltage - referred to as bipolar violation - into a signal whenever eight consecutive zeros are transmitted
  • Successive ones are ordinarily transmitted with a positive voltage and a negative voltage
21

A
  • Electrical current
  • Measure of how many electrons are flowing through a circuit
  • The result of a fixed voltage (force) pushing on a circuit of fixed resistance
34
Q
