From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
livelock /li:v'lok/ n. A situation in which some critical stage of a task is unable to finish because its clients perpetually create more work for it to do after they have been serviced but before it can clear its queue. Differs from {deadlock} in that the process is not blocked or waiting for anything, but has a virtually infinite amount of work to do and can never catch up.

label switched path (LSP) The specific path through a network that a {datagram} follows, based on its {MPLS} labels. (1999-06-14)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
label switching An attempt to combine the best attributes of {layer} two {switching} (as in {ATM} and {Frame Relay}) with the best attributes of the layer three {routing} (as in {IP}). The key concept in label switching is identifying and marking IP {datagrams} with labels and forwarding them to a modified {switch} or {router}, which then uses the labels to switch the datagrams through the network. The labels are created and assigned to IP datagrams based upon the information gathered from existing IP routing protocols. Prior to the formation of the {MPLS} Working Group in 1997, a number of vendors had announced and/or implemented proprietary label switching. (1999-06-14)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Label Switching Router (LSR) A device that typically resides somewhere in the middle of a {network} and is capable of forwarding {datagrams} based upon a label. In many cases, especially early versions of {MPLS} networks, a LSR will typically be a modified {ATM} {switch} that forwards datagrams based upon a label in the {VPI}/{VCI} field. (1999-06-14)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
level-sensitive scan design (circuit design) (LSSD) A kind of {scan design} which uses separate system and scan clocks to distinguish between normal and test mode. Latches are used in pairs, each has a normal data input, data output and clock for system operation. For test operation, the two latches form a master/slave pair with one scan input, one scan output and non-overlapping scan clocks A and B which are held low during system operation but cause the scan data to be latched when pulsed high during scan. ____ \| \| Sin ----\|S \| A ------\|> \| \| Q\|---+--------------- Q1 D1 -----\|D \| \| CLK1 ---\|> \| \| \|____\| \| ____ \| \| \| +---\|S \| B -------------------\|> \| \| Q\|------ Q2 / SOut D2 ------------------\|D \| CLK2 ----------------\|> \| \|____\| In a single latch LSSD configuration, the second latch is used only for scan operation.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
livelock /li:v'lok/ When two or more processes continuously change their state in response to changes in the other process(es) without doing any useful work. This is similar to {deadlock} in that no progress is made but differs in that neither process is blocked or waiting for anything. A human example of livelock would be two people who meet face-to-face in a corridor and each moves aside to let the other pass, but they end up swaying from side to side without making any progress because they always move the same way at the same time.
