1) Silicon Switch Processor
A
high-performance silicon switch for Cisco 7000 series routers that provides
distributed processing and control for interface processors. The SSP leverages
the high-speed switching and routing capabilities of the silicon switching
engine (SSE) to dramatically increase aggregate router performance, minimizing
performance bottlenecks at the interface points between the router and a
high-speed backbone. See also silicon switching and SSE.
2) Switch-to-Switch Protocol
A protocol specified in the DLSw standard
that routers use to establish DLSw connections, locate resources, forward data,
and handle flow control and error recovery. See also
DLSw.
