CAP

1. Competitive Access Provider.Also known as alternative access vendor (AAV). A company that provides access circuits between an end user enterprise and an interexchange carrier (IXC), or long distance carrier, in competition with the incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC). A CAP is facilities-based and generally offers access services at attractive rates compared to those of the ILEC. See also carrier, ILEC, and IXC. 2. Carrierless Amplitude Phase. A non-standard variation of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), CAP was the early de facto standard modulation technique for asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) modems. CAP was replaced by discrete multitone (DMT) prior to the release of ADSL standards recommendations by the ITU-T. See also ADSL, DMT, ITU-T, modulation, QAM, and standard.

• 1. Domain Name System. The naming convention that divides the Internet into logical domains identified in Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) as a 32-bit portion of the total address.The standard convention is user@organization.domain, where user is the name of the end user, organization is the name of the enterprise or other organization owning or sponsoring the address, and domain is the type of entity owning or sponsoring the address.The administration of the DNS is the responsibility of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). See also domain, ICANN, Internet, and IPv4. 2.
• 1. In storage, irrelevant material, usually zero (0) bits, added to a data block in order to fill it to a minimum size, to force certain fields of control data or user data into certain positions or sizes, or to prevent the user data from duplicating a bit pattern that has a specific control meaning. See also block. 2.
