Full Duplex Capable of handling simultaneous data transmission
between a sending station and a receiving station.
ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol. Internet protocol
that reports errors and provides other information
relevant to IP packet processing, such as routing
information.
Inverse ARP Inverse Address Resolution Protocol. Enables
routers to obtain the IP address of a known Ethernet
address of a device associated with a virtual circuit.
Method of building dynamic routes in a network.
IP Internet Protocol. Part of the TCP/IP protocol. IP
networks are connectionless, packet switching
networks.
IP address 32-bit address assigned to hosts using TCP/IP. An
IP address contains four octets separated by
periods, also known as a dotted quad address.
Each address consists of a network number, an
optional sub-network number, and a host number.
The network and sub-network numbers together are
used for routing, while the host number is used to
address an individual host within the network or sub-
network.
IP SNAP Sub-network Access Protocol. Internet protocol that
operates between a network entity in the sub-
network and a network entity in the end system.
SNAP specifies a standard method of encapsulating
IP datagrams and ARP messages on IEEE
networks. The SNAP entity in the end system
makes use of the services of the sub-network and
performs three essential functions: data transfer,
connection management, and QOS selection.
LAN Local Area Network. Privately owned network-
connecting devices over a limited geographic area.
May use TCP/IP or one of several other protocols.
