Information

Base (MIB)

Media Access Control (MAC)

Line Unit Line Termination

Line Unit Network Termination

A data base of objects, with attributes and values, representing the manageable components of a network device. Used in SNMP. There are industry standardized MIBs and proprietary MIBs

The lower of the two sub-layers of the data link layer defined by the IEEE. The MAC sub-layer handles access to shared media, such as whether token passing or contention will be used. The MAC contains the standardized data link layer address that is required for every port or device that connects to a LAN. Other devices in the network use these addresses to locate specific ports in the network and to create and update routing tables and data structures. MAC addresses are 6 bytes long and are controlled by the IEEE.

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

This was an effort to establish a figure that gives an estimate of the reliability of a piece of equipment. The higher the MTBF rating, the longer the equipment should last.

megabyte (MB)

modem

multiplexor

network

A measurement of storage capacity equal to approximately 1 million bytes (1,048,576 bytes).

MOdulator-DEModulator, a device that takes digital computer signal, converts it to analog, and sends it across the phone line. Another modem on the reverse does the exact opposite action. Modems transfer data at different speeds or rates, called baud.

A complex piece of telephone equipment which combines the data stream of several leased lines for transmission over a single higher bandwidth leased line. Multiplexors are used in the construction of WANs.

A set of computers linked to one another for data sharing, or the link itself.
