Generically, an NID may also be called a network interface unit (NIU), [1] telephone network interface (TNI), system network interface (SNI), or telephone network box. Australia's National Broadband Network uses the term network termination device or NTD. A smartjack is a type of NID with capabilities beyond simple electrical connection, such ...
Neptune, also known as Sun Multithreaded 10 GbE, is a dual 10 Gbit/s, multithreaded, PCIe x8-based network interface controller for 10 Gigabit Ethernet.It was developed and originally produced by Sun Microsystems, and later licensed to Marvell Technology Group in 2007.
The primary purpose of a DS1 Network Interface Unit, T1-NIU (AKA Smartjack to many) is to provide a remote test point to the service provider to a DS1 (T1) circuit at the Network Interface (NI). In simple terms, a T1-NIU provides full DS1 loopback towards the network to permit a service provider to test to the NI from a central test center to ...
CSUs can be categorized by the class of service they support (DS1, DS3, DDS, etc.) and by the capabilities within that class.For example, basic DS1 (T1) CSUs support loopback of each interface and will produce alarm indication signal to the provider's network interface device (NID) in the event of loss of signal from the customer-premises equipment (CPE).
Network interface may refer to: Network interface controller, a computer hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network; Network interface device, a device that serves as the demarcation point between a telephone carrier's local loop and the customer's wiring; Virtual network interface, an abstract virtualized representation ...
V.17 is an ITU-T recommendation for a fax modem using TCM modulation at 12 and 14.4 kbit/s. V.18 is an ITU-T recommendation for operation and interworking of text telephone devices V.21 is an ITU-T recommendation for full-duplex communication between two analogue dial-up modems using audio frequency-shift keying modulation at 300 baud to carry ...
z Uses 8b/10b encoding, meaning that 20% of each transfer is used by the interface instead of carrying data from between the hardware components at each end of the interface. For example, a single link PCIe 1.0 has a 2.5 Gbit/s transfer rate, yet its usable bandwidth is only 2 Gbit/s (250 MB/s).
A network interface controller (NIC, also known as a network interface card, [3] network adapter, LAN adapter and physical network interface [4]) is a computer hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network. [5] Early network interface controllers were commonly implemented on expansion cards that plugged into a computer bus.
