GCRA - (Generic Cell Rate Algorithm) - Used to define conformance with respect to the traffic contract of the connection. For each cell arrival, the GCRA determines whether the cell conforms to the traffic contract. The UPC function may implement the GCRA, or one or more equivalent algorithms to enforce conformance. The GCRA is defined with two parameters: the Increment (I) and the Limit (L).

Glare - On a POTS line an incoming call is signaled by periodically applying an AC ring voltage to the line. Since there is a semi random period before the ring, and pauses between rings, it is possible to seize a line which is "about to ring" (and answer a call) when attempting to place an outgoing call. When this scenario happens it is called glare. Glare is much less likely if Ground Start trunks are used. See Ground Start Trunk.

Ground Start - A method of signaling between two machines, where one machine grounds one side of the line and the other machine detects the presence of the ground.

Ground Start Trunk - A type of telephone trunk where the request to make an outgoing call (i.e. request for dial tone) is made by briefly grounding the Tip conductor. Many PBX systems use ground start trunks as they are less prone to glare than Loop start trunks. See Loop Start Trunk. See also Glare
