MTU

Maximum Transmission Unit is a conﬁguration parameter that controls the size of the Ethernet frames that the SGI 10-Gigabit Ethernet network adapter can transmit and receive.

man (manual) page

An online document that describes how to use a particular IRIX command. Also called reference page.

multiclient conﬁguration

A TCP/IP conﬁguration in which the IRIX system is connected via 10-Gbit Ethernet to a switch that fans out to multiple clients via 1-Gbit Ethernet.

NIS

Network Information Service, a distributed database mechanism for user accounts, host names, mail aliases, and so on.

PCI

Peripheral Component Interconnect, a bus speciﬁcation. The PCI bus is a high-performance local bus used to connect peripherals to memory and a microprocessor. Many vendors offer devices that plug into the PCI bus.

point-to-point conﬁguration

A TCP/IP conﬁguration in which IRIX is transmitting to or receiving from IRIX.

reference page

See man (manual) page.
