7、AT Network Address Translator. Wherever the carrier places the home router, they typically request the IP addresses in the home not be represented directly to the network. Instead, a transparent NAT is used. Network An array of points interconnected by communications channels. Network Management Fun
8、ction to check the Layer 1-3 connectivity of any device in the home. NID Network Interface Device. Regulatory term of key importance to telephone companies. There is a physical point and a device where the telephone network terminates and the customer premises network begins. Sometimes this is simpl
9、y a passive device, and sometimes this is a powered device. For a typical FTTP network, the ONT is at the NID. For a typical early stage FTTN network, the NID is simply a passive device at the side of the house and the VDSL signal actually continues into the house. ONT Optical Network Termination. T
10、erminates the fiber network in an FTTP scenario. Typically the ONT provides the NID function. One per home. Play To consume the content by rendering it to the user via screen, speakers, etc. Program Content limited to a specific instance or event, typically associated with a linked instance of video
11、 and accompanying audio. RG Residential Gateway. Terminates the Access network and the VDSLx or ADSLx network.

12、o another device on the home network Service Management Function to check the Layer 4-7 functionality of any device in the home. STB Set-Top Box. When used by a telco, this typically describes a box that translates the IPTV services running across the home network and makes them displayable to the T
13、V (includes the video decode function, EPG function, DRM, games, ITV, personalization, etc.). Store To keep an electronic copy of the content locally without consuming it. Transport A process used to convey data from one point to another point or points by placing the data in defined structures (pac
