Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

A network linking together LANs and other networks at many sites within a city area.

MIB (Management Information Base)

A data structure used for communication and control of the probe.

Monitor

Passive data capture of both sides of a digital communication.

MsAU (Media station Access Unit)

The attachment unit used to provide the physical connection and access to a Token-Ring network.

N(R)

Receive sequence number in HDLC based level 2 link protocols.

N(S)

Send sequence number in HDLC based level 2 link protocols.

NetMetrix

NetMetrix refers to the HP OpenView NetMetrix/UX software suite for HP-UX and Solaris.

Network Element (NE)
