ACL
--Access control list. A roster of users and groups of users kept by a router. The list is used to control access to or from
the router for a number of services.
BGP
--Border Gateway Protocol. Interdomain routing protocol that replaces Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP). A BGP system exchanges
reachability information with other BGP systems. BGP is defined by RFC 1163.
CEF
--Cisco Express Forwarding. Layer 3 IP switching technology that optimizes network performance and scalability for networks
with large and dynamic traffic patterns.
fast
switching
--Cisco feature in which a route cache is used to expedite packet switching through a router.
flow
--Unidirectional stream of packets between a given source and destination. Source and destination are each defined by a network-layer
IP address and transport-layer source and destination port numbers.
MQC
--Modular Quality of Service (QoS) Command-line Interface (CLI). A CLI structure that lets you create traffic polices and
attach them to interfaces. A traffic policy contains a traffic class and one or more QoS features. The QoS features in the
traffic policy determine how the classified traffic is treated.
NBAR
--Network-Based Application Recognition. A classification engine in Cisco IOS software that recognizes a wide variety of applications,
including web-based applications and client/server applications that dynamically assign Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port numbers. After the application is recognized, the network can invoke specific services
for that application. NBAR is a key part of the Cisco Content Networking architecture and works with QoS features to let you
use network bandwidth efficiently.
NetFlow
--Cisco IOS XE security and accounting feature that maintains per-flow information.
NetFlow
sampler
--A set of properties that are defined in a NetFlow sampler map that has been applied to at least one physical interface or
subinterface.
NetFlow
sampler
map
--The definition of a set of properties (such as the sampling rate) for NetFlow sampling.
NetFlow
v9
--NetFlow export format Version 9. A flexible and extensible means for carrying NetFlow records from a network node to a collector.
NetFlow Version 9 has definable record types and is self-describing for easier NetFlow Collection Engine configuration.
ToS
--type of service. Second byte in the IP header that indicates the desired quality of service for a specific datagram.
