E

E1	European digital transmissions format; equivalent of North American T1.
E911	Enhanced 9-1-1 service. Provides the identity and the approximate location of the calling phone
EAP	IETF Extensible Authentication Protocol
Eb	Energy of an information bit
EBCDIC	EBCDIC "Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code is an 8-bit character encoding used on IBM mainframes
EBGP	External BGP. BGP between routers in two different networks.
EC	Exchange Carrier
EDI	Electronic Data Interchange. Used to transfer business-level data between companies (e.g. invoices, purchase orders). Nowadays, more attention is on XML for this purpose
EIA	Electronics Industry Alliance
EMC	Electro-Magnetic Compatibility
EMI	Electro-Magnetic Interference. Disruption of device operation in vicinity of electromagnetic field (EM field) in radio frequency (RF) spectrum; caused by another electronic device.
EoS	Ethernet over SONET. Standards-based approach of data transmission over Bellcore SONET/SDH.
Erlang	Measure of traffic load. Calculated as rate at which calls arrive divided by the rate at which they are completed
Erlang B	A traffic model used to engineer resource groups when blockage is low, and the average holding time is known
Erlang C	A traffic model commonly used for provisioning data circuits
ERP	Effective Radiated Power
ESF	Extended Superframe Format. DS1 format that is used for most T1 links
Ethernet	Ethernet is a frame-based computer networking technology for local area networks (LANs). It defines wiring and signaling for the physical layer, and frame formats and protocols for the media access control (MAC)/data link layer of the OSI model. Ethernet is mostly standardized as IEEE's 802.3.
Ethernet Extender	Device's) that allow Ethernet to work at distances exceeding the specified 100 meter maximum Typically point-to-point device(s), operating at full-duplex to avoid collision issues.
ETSI	European Telecommunications Standards Institute
