UPC and NPC
Usage Parameter Control and Network Parameter Control are functions that may be performed in a computer network. UPC may be performed at the input to a network "to protect network resources from malicious as well as unintentional misbehaviour". NPC is the same and done for the same reasons as UPC, but at the interface between two networks.
