IGP Interior Gateway Protocol: Any protocol used by the Internet to
exchange routing data within an independent system. Examples include RIP,
IGRP, and OSPF.
ILMI Integrated (or Interim) Local Management Interface. A specification
created by the ATM Forum, designated for the incorporation of networkmanagement
capability into the ATM UNI. Integrated Local Management
Interface cells provide for automatic configuration between ATM systems.
In LAN emulation, ILMI can provide sufficient information for the ATM
end station to find an LECS. In addition, ILMI provides the ATM NSAP
(Network Service Access Point) prefix information to the end station.
in-band management In-band management is the management of a
network device “through” the network. Examples include using Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) or Telnet directly via the local LAN.
Compare with: out-of-band management.
insured burst In an ATM network, it is the largest, temporarily permitted
data burst exceeding the insured rate on a PVC and not tagged by the traffic
policing function for being dropped if network congestion occurs. This
insured burst is designated in bytes or cells.
interarea routing Routing between two or more logical areas. Contrast
with: intra-area routing. See also: area.
interface processor Any of several processor modules used with Cisco
7000 series routers. See also: AIP, CIP, EIP, FEIP, HIP, MIP, and TRIP.
Internet The global “network of networks,” whose popularity has
exploded in the last few years. Originally a tool for collaborative academic
research, it has become a medium for exchanging and distributing information
of all kinds. The Internet’s need to link disparate computer platforms
and technologies has led to the development of uniform protocols and standards
that have also found widespread use within corporate LANs. See also:
TCP/IP and MBONE.
internet Before the rise of the Internet, this lowercase form was shorthand for
“internetwork” in the generic sense. Now rarely used. See also: internetwork.
Internet protocol Any protocol belonging to the TCP/IP protocol stack.
