network operating system are the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol or the

 

Internet Protocol (IP). Protocols that dictate the format of data for transferors the

 

medium include token-passing and Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision

 

Detection (CSMA/CD), implemented as token-ring, ARCNET, FDDI, or Ethernet. The

 

Router Information Protocol (RIP),a part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet

 

Protocol (TCP/IP) suite, forwards packets from one network to another using the same

 

network protocol.

R

 

RJ-45

RJ-45 connector is used for Ethernet cable connections.

Router

A router is the network software or hardware entity charged with routing packets

 

between networks.

RTP

RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is a data transfer protocol defined to deliver live

 

media to the clients at the same time, which defines the transmission of video and

 

audio files in real time for Internet applications.

RTSP

RTSP (Real-time Streaming Protocol) is the standard used to transmit stored media to

 

the client(s) at the same time, which provides client controls for random access to the

 

content stream.

S

 

Server

It is a simple computer that provides resources, such as files or other information.

SIP

SIP (Session Initiated Protocol) is a standard protocol that delivers the real-time

 

communication for Voice over IP (VoIP), which establishes sessions for features such

 

as audio and video conferencing.

SMTP

The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is used for Internet mail.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP was designed to provide a common

 

foundation for managing network devices.

Station

In LANs, a station consists of a device that can communicate data on the network. In

 

FDDI, a station includes both physical nodes and addressable logical devices.

 

Workstations, single-attach stations, dual-attach stations, and concentrators are FDDI

 

stations.

Subnet mask

In TCP/IP, the bits used to create the subnet are called the subnet mask.

T

 

(TCP/IP)

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is a widely used transport protocol that

 

connects diverse computers of various transmission methods. It was developed y the

 

Department of Defense to connect different computer types and led to the development

 

of the Internet.

Transceiver

A transceiver joins two network segments together. Transceivers can also be used to

 

join a segment that uses one medium to a segment that uses a different medium. On a

 

10BASE-5 network, the transceiver connects the network adapter or other network

 

device to the medium. Transceivers also can be used on 10BASE-2 or 10BASE-T

 

networks to attach devices with AUI ports.

U

 

UDP

The User Datagram Protocol is a connectionless protocol that resides above IP in the

 

TCP/IP suite

User Name

The USERNAME is the unique name assigned to each person who has access to the

 

LAN.

Utility

It is a program that performs a specific task.

UTP

Unshielded twisted-pair. UTP is a form of cable used by all access methods. It consists

 

of several pairs of wires enclosed in an unshielded sheath.
