Glossary

MIB	Management Information Base. Database of network management
	information that is used and maintained by a network management protocol,
	such as SNMP or Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP). The
	value of a MIB object can be changed or retrieved using SNMP or CMIP
	commands, usually through a GUI network management system. MIB
	objects are organized in a tree structure that includes public (standard) and
	private (proprietary) branches.
NAT	Network Address Translation. Mechanism for reducing the need for globally
	unique IP addresses. NAT allows an organization with addresses that are not
	globally unique to connect to the Internet by translating those addresses into
	globally routable address space. Also known as Network Address Translator.
NetFlow	A feature of some routers that allows them to categorize incoming packets
	into flows. Because packets in a flow often can be treated in the same way,
	this classification can be used to bypass some of the work of the router and
	accelerate its switching operation.
network module	Type of network module.
NTP	Network Time Protocol. Protocol built on top of TCP that ensures accurate
	local time-keeping with reference to radio and atomic clocks located on the
	Internet. This protocol is capable of synchronizing distributed clocks within
	milliseconds over long time periods.
PCI	Peripheral Component Interconnect. An industry local bus standard.
QoS	Quality of Service. Cisco IOS QoS technology lets complex networks control
	and predictably service a variety of networked applications and traffic types.
RMON	Remote Monitoring. MIB agent specification described in RFC 1271 that
	defines functions for the remote monitoring of networked devices. The
	RMON specification provides numerous monitoring, problem detection, and
	reporting capabilities.
Service engine	Content-networking product (hardware plus software) that accelerates
	content delivery, ensuring maximum scalability and availability of content.
Service (or services)	Alternate term for network module with installed application software.
engine
service module	Standalone content engine with its own startup and run-time configurations
	that are independent of the Cisco IOS configuration on the router.
SNMP	Simple Network Management Protocol. Network management protocol used
	almost exclusively in TCP/IP networks. SNMP provides a means to monitor
	and control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistics
	collection, performance, and security. SNMPv2c supports centralized and
	distributed network management strategies and includes improvements in the
	Structure of Management Information (SMI), protocol operations,
	management architecture, and security. SNMPv3 provides secure access to
	devices by a combination of authenticating and encrypting packets over the
	network.
SSH	Secure Shell Connection protocol is a protocol that provides a secure remote
	connection to a router through a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
	application.
