Cyclades User's Guide manual BogoMips, Bonding Linux, Bootp, Console, Checksum

	cannot be equated to bandwidth unless the number of bits per
	symbol is known.
BogoMips	A measurement of processor speed made by the Linux kernel
	when it boots, to calibrate an internal busy-loop.
Bonding (Linux)	Ability to detect communication failure transparently, and switch
	from one LAN connection to another. The Linux bonding driver
	has the ability to detect link failure and reroute network traffic
	around a failed link in a manner transparent to the application. It
	also has the ability (with certain network switches) to aggregate
	network traffic in all working links to achieve higher throughput.
	The bonding driver accomplishes this by enslaving all of the
	Ethernet ports in the bond to the same Ethernet MAC address,
	which ensures the proper routing of packets across the links.
Boot	To start a computer so that it is ready to run programs for the user.
	A PC can be booted either by turning its power on, (Cold Boot) or
	by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del (Warm Boot).
Bootp	Bootstrap Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol allowing a BOOTP
	server node to allocate IP addresses to diskless work stations
	at startup.
CAT5	Category 5. A cabling standard for use on networks at speeds up
	to 100 Mbits including FDDI and 100base-T. The 5 refers to the
	number of turns per inch with which the cable is constructed.
Console	Terminal used to configure network devices at boot (start-up)
	time. Also used to refer to the keyboard, video and mouse user
	interface to a server.
Checksum	A computed value which depends on the contents of a block of
	data and which is transmitted or stored along with the data in
	order to detect corruption of the data. The receiving system
	recomputes the checksum based upon the received data and
	compares this value with the one sent with the data. If the two
	values are the same, the receiver has some confidence that the
	data was received correctly.
