MLP Multilink PPP: A technique used to split, recombine, and sequence<br />

datagrams across numerous logical data links.<br />

MMP Multichassis Multilink PPP: A protocol that supplies MLP support<br />

across multiple routers and access servers. MMP enables several routers and<br />

access servers to work as a single, large dial-up pool with one network<br />

address and ISDN access number. MMP successfully supports packet fragmenting<br />

and reassembly when the user connection is split between two physical<br />

access devices.<br />

modem modulator-demodulator: A device that converts digital signals<br />

to analog and vice-versa so that digital information can be transmitted over<br />

analog communication facilities, such as voice-grade telephone lines. This is<br />

achieved by converting digital signals at the source to analog for transmission<br />

and reconverting the analog signals back into digital form at the destination.<br />

See also: modulation and demodulation.<br />

modem eliminator A mechanism that makes possible a connection<br />

between two DTE devices without modems by simulating the commands<br />

and physical signaling required.<br />

modulation The process of modifying some characteristic of an electrical<br />

signal, such as amplitude (AM) or frequency (FM), in order to represent digital<br />

or analog information. See also: AM.<br />

MOSPF Multicast OSPF: An extension of the OSPF unicast protocol that<br />

enables IP multicast routing within the domain. See also: OSPF.<br />

MPOA Multiprotocol over ATM: An effort by the ATM Forum to standardize<br />

how existing and future <strong>Network</strong>-layer protocols such as IP, Ipv6,<br />

AppleTalk, and IPX run over an ATM network with directly attached hosts,<br />

routers, and multilayer LAN switches.<br />

MTU maximum transmission unit: The largest packet size, measured in<br />

bytes, that an interface can handle.<br />

multicast Broadly, any communication between a single sender and multiple<br />

receivers. Unlike broadcast messages, which are sent to all addresses on<br />

a network, multicast messages are sent to a defined subset of the network<br />

addresses; this subset has a group multicast address, which is specified in the<br />

packet’s destination address field. See also: broadcast, directed broadcast.
