Parity

A bit or series of bits appended to a character or block of characters to ensure that the information received is the same as the information that was sent. Parity is used for error detection. Bit(s) used to determine whether a block of data has been altered.

An intrusion discovery mechanism used by IDS. Behavior- based detection finds out about the normal activities and events on your system through watching and learning. Once it has accumulated enough data about normal activity, it can detect abnormal and possible malicious activities and events. Also known as statistical intrusion detection, anomaly detection, and heuristics-based detection.

A new version of the SuperFrame that allows for more frames to be grouped together. In a T1 circuit, each of the 24 DS0 channels are sampled every 125 microseconds and 8 bits are taken from each. If you multiply the 8 bits by the 24 channels, you get 192 bits in a chain, and then add one bit for timing, you get 193 total bits in one frame. Twelve frames comprise the SuperFrame. For the Extended SuperFrame, we double the number of frames, making the total 24.

A newer version of this T1 formatting is called Extended SuperFrame (ESF).
