	Glossary
	side signals the sending side to stop until the buffer has space
	again. Between hardware (such as your modem and your
	computer), hardware flow control is used; between modems,
	software flow control is used.
Hot-Swap	Ability to remove and add hardware to a computer system
	without powering off the system.
ICMP	Internet Control Message Protocol is an Internet protocol
	sent in response to errors in TCP/IP messages. It is an error
	reporting protocol between a host and a gateway. ICMP uses
	Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams (or packets), but the
	messages are processed by the IP software and are not
	directly apparent to the application user.
In-band Network	In a computer network, when the management data is
Management	accessed using the same network that carries the data, this is
	called “in-band management.”
IP Address	A 32-bit address assigned to hosts using TCP/IP. It belongs to
	one of five classes (A-E) and is expressed as 4 octets
	separated by periods formatted as dotted decimals.
	Each address has a network number, an optional sub network
	number and a host number. The first two numbers are used
	for routing, while the host number addresses an individual
	host within the network or sub network. A subnet mask is
	used to extract network and sub network information from
	the IP address.
ISDN	A set of communications standards allowing a single wire or
	optical fibre to carry voice, digital network services and
	video. ISDN is intended to eventually replace the plain old
	telephone system.
Kerberos	Kerberos was created by MIT as a solution to network
	security problems. The Kerberos protocol uses strong
	cryptography so that a client can prove its identity to a server
	(and vice versa) across an insecure network connection.
