nation. Particularly used by RIP.

(3) DDS connecting center.
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. Professional organization that
defines network standards. IEEE LAN standards are the predominant LAN
standards today and include protocols similar or virtually equivalent to Ether-
net and Token Ring.
IEEE 802.1d
An algorithm used to prevent bridging loops by creating a spanning tree.
IEEE 802.2
An IEEE LAN protocol that specifies an implementation of the LLC sublayer
of the data link layer. It handles errors, framing, flow control, network layer
(Layer 3) service interface, and is used in LANs.
IEEE 802.3
A physical layer standard specifying a linear bus network LAN with a CSMA/
CD access method on a bus topology. Ethernet follows the 802.3 standard,
transmitting at 10 megabits per second. This is the most common local area
network specification. Physical variations of IEEE 802.3 include 10Base2 and
10BaseT.
in-band signalling
Signalling made up of tones which pass within the voice frequency band and
are carried along the same circuit as the talk path being established by the sig-
nals. Virtually all signalling (request for service, dialing, disconnect, etc.) in
the U.S. is in-band signalling. Most of that signalling is MF (Multi-Frequency)
dialing. The more modern form of signalling is out-of-band.
interexchange carrier
Since divestiture, any carrier registered with the FCC authorized to carry cus-
tomer transmissions between LATAs interstate, or if approved by a state pub-
lic utility commission, intrastate. Includes carriers such as AT&T
Communications, Satellite Business Systems, GTE Telenet, GTE Sprint, and
MCI.
information element
The name for the data fields within an ISDN Layer 3 message.
