R&TTE Radio & Telecommunications Terminal Equipment. The R&TTE
Directive 1999/5/EC governs the marketing and use of R&TTE
equipment. With the exception of a few categories of equipment, the
Directive covers all equipment, which uses the radio frequency

telecommunication networks.
RT Real Time. Real Time service is designed to meet the needs of Real
Time Variable Bit Rate (RT-VBR) like services characterized by
requirements for guaranteed rate and delay such as streaming video or
audio. These services are dynamic in nature, but offer periodic
dedicated requests opportunities to meet real-time requirements.
Because the subscriber equipment issues explicit requests, the
protocol overhead and latency is increased, but capacity is granted
only according to the real needs of the connection. Service parameters
include CIR and CT.

SIP Session Initiation Protocol. An application-layer control IETF protocol
that can establish, modify, and terminate multimedia sessions such as
Internet telephony calls (VoIP). SIP can also invite participants to
already existing sessions, such as multicast conferences. Media can be
added to (and removed from) an existing session. SIP transparently
supports name mapping and redirection services, which supports
personal mobility - users can maintain a single externally visible
identifier regardless of their network location.
SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. A network management
protocol that provides a means to monitor and control network
devices, and to manage configurations, statistics collection,
performance, and security. SNMP works by sending messages, called
protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network.
SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about themselves in
Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the
SNMP requesters.
