TAP (Telephony Application Programming Interface) A programming interface that allows Windows client applications to access voice services on a server.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) Connection-oriented transport layer protocol that provides reliable full-duplex data transmission. TCP is part of the TCP/IP protocol stack.
Termination Placing calls that terminate in the PSTN public switched telephone network.
Trunk A communications channel between two points, typically referring to large-bandwidth telephone channels between switching centers, that handle many simultaneous voice and data signals.
Trunking Trunking means that several connections in a network may be established simultaneously, and that setup of connections proceeds automatically using the channels available at the time in question. In this way many users may share a few connections, and if the number of connections is increased, the capacity of the network is increased more than proportionally. This means that an optimal trunking effect is obtained in very large networks.
