	ST to Throughput
ST	Straight-Tip. A modular connector and port system used
	with both multimode and single mode fiber optic cabling.
	The ST connector utilizes an insert and twist-lock
	mechanism.
Station	See node.
STP	Shielded Twisted Pair. Refers to a type of cabling, most
	commonly used in Token Ring networks, which consists
	of several strands of cables surrounded by foil shielding,
	which are twisted together. See also UTP.
Straight-	A length of multi-stranded cable in which the transmit
Through	wire(s) of one end is/are passed directly through the cable
	to the same location on the other end. Straight-through
	cables are used for most facility cabling. See also cross-
	over.
Subnet	A physical network within an IP network.
Subnet Mask	A 32 - bit quantity which may be set up in SNMP
	management devices to indicate which bits in an IP
	address identify the physical network.
Switch	A network device which connects two or more separate
	network segments and allows traffic to be passed between
	them when necessary. A switch determines if a packet
	should be blocked or transmitted based on the destination
	address contained in that packet.
TCP	Transmission Control Protocol.
Terminal	A device for displaying information and relaying
	communications. Terminals do not perform any processing
	of data, but instead access processing-capable systems and
	allow users to control that system.
Throughput	The rate at which discrete quantities of information
	(typically measured in Mbps ) are received by or
	transmitted through a specific device.
