Throughput  The amount of data moved successfully from one node to another in a given time period.

Trunking  Link Aggregation. Optimizes port usage by linking a group of ports together to form a single trunk (aggregated groups).

TX Rate  Transmission Rate.

UDP (User Data Protocol)  Communication protocol that transmits packets but does not guarantee their delivery.

Upgrade  To replace existing software or firmware with a newer version.

Upload  To transmit a file over a network.

URL (Uniform Resource Locator)  The address of a file located on the Internet.
