ZIP |
Zone Information Protocol. AppleTalk session
layer protocol that maps network numbers to zone names. ZIP is used by
NBP to determine which networks contain nodes that belong to a zone. See
also ZIP storm and zone. |
|
ZIP storm |
Broadcast storm that occurs when a router
running AppleTalk propagates a route for which it currently has no
corresponding zone name. The route is then forwarded by downstream
routers, and a ZIP storm ensues. See also ZIP. |

zone |
|
1. Collection of
all terminals, gateways, and multipoint control units (MCUs) managed by
a single gatekeeper. A zone includes at least one terminal, and can
include gateways or MCUs. A zone has only one gatekeeper. A zone can be
independent of LAN topology and can be comprised of multiple LAN
segments connected using routers or other devices. |
2. In AppleTalk, a
logical group of network devices. See also ZIP. |

zone multicast address |
Data-link-dependent multicast address at which a
node receives the NBP broadcasts directed to its zone. See also NBNS. |
|
zone prefix |
|
A prefix that identifies the addresses to be
serviced by a given gatekeeper. Zone prefixes are typically area codes
and serve the same purpose as the domain names in the H.323-ID address
space. |
