Re: OT: ICM "NIC" interface type

Hi,

A part of my job involves interaction with ICM so I have a few
colleagues working on it. Here is what a friend of mine has to say on
it

"NIC Stands for Network Interface Controller.
The Network Interface Controller (NIC) software provides the interface
between the NAM and the service provider's intelligent switching
network. The NIC receives route requests from the network and forwards
them to the appropriate CallRouter for processing.

The Customer ICM (CICM) uses a special NIC to receive route requests
from and return route responses to the NAM. This NIC, called the INCRP
NIC, allows CICMs to route calls via the Intelligent Network Call
Routing Protocol (INCRP). "

HTH,
Ravi
