  2. Network interface device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_interface_device

    In telecommunications, a network interface device (NID; also known by several other names) is a device that serves as the demarcation point between the carrier's local loop and the customer's premises wiring. Outdoor telephone NIDs also provide the subscriber with access to the station wiring and serve as a convenient test point for ...

  3. Local loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_loop

    Local Loop. In telephony, the local loop (also referred to as the local tail, subscriber line, or in the aggregate as the last mile) is the physical link or circuit that connects from the demarcation point of the customer premises to the edge of the common carrier or telecommunications service provider's network.

  4. Routing loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_loop

    Furthermore, node A receives the data that it originated back from node B and consults its routing table. Node A's routing table will say that it can reach node C via node B (because it still has not been informed of the break) thus sending its data back to node B creating an infinite loop. This routing loop problem is also called a two-node loop.

  5. Local area network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_area_network

    Also shown in this example (shaded in yellow) is the network's connection to the Internet via fixed-line means. A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited area such as a residence, campus, or building, [1] [2] [3] and has its network equipment and interconnects locally managed. LANs facilitate ...

  6. Protocol-Independent Multicast - Wikipedia

    Additionally, the routers will use reverse-path forwarding to ensure that there are no loops for packet forwarding among routers that wish to receive multicast packets. When a data packet is received on a non-RPF interface, a mechanism is required to prevent loops. If the non-RPF interface is a LAN, an Assert message is sent.

  7. Loop management system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_Management_System

    Although local loop unbundling is a standard process for an incumbent , issues remain to be solved in the local loop management process. For a CLEC which borrows lines from ILEC for DSL services provisioning process, a local loop is the most critical (and the most weak) point because of reduced management of this vital part of the network.

  8. Wireless local loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_local_loop

    The wireless local loop market is currently [when?] an extremely high-growth market, offering Internet service providers immediate access to customer markets without having to either lay cable through a metropolitan area, or work through the ILECs, reselling the telephone, cable or satellite networks, owned by companies that prefer to largely ...

  9. Instruction scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_scheduling

    Local (basic block) scheduling: instructions can't move across basic block boundaries. Global scheduling: instructions can move across basic block boundaries. Modulo scheduling: an algorithm for generating software pipelining, which is a way of increasing instruction level parallelism by interleaving different iterations of an inner loop.
