network through one or more adjacent networks.
non-associated signaling
Uses separate logical paths and multiple nodes as signaling links.
non-branching node
A node that cannot currently support additional branching points for point-to-
multipoint calls.
non-elastic connection
An ATM connection type that cannot respond to changes in bandwidth over an
ATM link by decreasing or increasing its data rate. If there is insufficient
bandwidth, the connection is released. Compare with
elastic connection
