Method used by routers to control the flow of traffic. Packets are placed in holding queues and retransmitted based on CBQ and WFQ algorithms. When traffic overflows the queue, packets are discarded to reduce network congestion.
The process of holding calls in order of their arrival to await connection to an attendant, to an answering group, or to an idle trunk. Calls are automatically connected in first-in, first-out sequence.[ Top of Document ] Reorder Tone A tone to signal that at least one of the facilities, such as a trunk or a digit transmitter, needed for the call was not available.[ Top of Document ] Send All Calls ( SAC) Allows users to temporarily direct all incoming calls to coverage regardless of the assigned call-coverage redirection criteria.
A risk management approach adopted by a settlement system or participants that consists of keeping transfer orders on hold by the originator/deliverer or by the system until sufficient cover is available on the originator's/deliverer's clearing account or under the limits set against the payor. In some cases, the cover may include unused credit lines or available collateral. See caps.
A method of storing packets and forwarding them in a different order. This allows higher-priority traffic to move through first. Queuing also handles temporary bursts of traffic.
In telecommunications, a feature that allows calls or packets to be "held" or delayed at the origination switch while waiting for a channel to become available.
