(Integrated-Private Network-to-Network Interface) An extension to the PNNI routing protocol used in ATM networks that enables IP routers to select paths through the network based on quality of service (QoS). I-PNNI was never completed by the ATM Forum and was superseded by MPLS. See PNNI, MPLS and QoS.

- Bridges play an important role in data communications networks. Because LANs are limited in the distance that the media can be strung through a building, we use bridges between LAN segments to efficiently and cost-effectively overcome this geographical restriction.
