SMON
Switch Monitoring, Avaya’s proprietary switch monitoring technology. SMON extends the RMON standard to provide additional tools and features for monitoring in the switch environment. SMON enables a global view of traffic for all switches on the network, an overall view of traffic passing through a specific switch, detailed data of the hosts transmitting packets or cells through a switch, an analysis of traffic passing through each port connected to a switch, and a view of traffic between various hosts connected to a switch.
SMTP

SNAP
SubNetwork Access Protocol. Internet protocol that operates between a network entity in the subnetwork and a network entity in the end system. SNAP specifies a standard method of encapsulating IP datagrams and ARP messages on IEEE networks.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol. Protocol for communications between remote network management stations (like a management umbrella console) and managed network elements (such as Avaya Inc.’s devices). The management umbrella uses SNMP for network management and can manage all SNMP devices.
Socket
An addressable entity within a node connected to an AppleTalk network. Sockets are owned by software processes known as socket clients. An AppleTalk socket is similar in concept to a TCP/IP port.
Spanning Tree Protocol
Refer to STA on page 253.
STA
Spanning Tree Algorithm. The algorithm used by the Spanning Tree Protocol to create a spanning tree. The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a bridge protocol that uses the STA to enable a learning bridge to dynamically work around loops in a network topology by creating a spanning tree. Bridges exchange BPDU messages with other bridges to detect loops, and then remove the loops by shutting down
