Cyclades User's Guide manual Hot-Swap, IP address, IP packet filtering

	in a buffer. When the buffer is nearly full, the receiving 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.
FTP	Short for File Transfer Protocol. The protocol for exchanging
	files over the Internet. FTP works in the same way as HTTP for
	transferring web pages from a server to a user's browser. FTP uses
	the Internet's TCP/IP protocols to enable data transfer.
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	In a computer network, when the management data is accessed
	using the same network that carries the data 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.
IP packet filtering	This is a set of facilities in network equipment that allows the
	filtering of data packets based on source/destination addresses,
	protocol, TCP port number and other parameters. Packet filtering
	is one of the main functions of a firewall.
