switch port	A port on a switch. Switch ports can be E_Ports, F_Ports, or
	FL_Ports.
SWL	Short wavelength. A type of fiber optic cabling that is based
	on 850 mm lasers and supports link speeds up to 2 Gb/s.
	May also refer to the type of transceiver.
tenancy	The time span that begins when a port wins arbitration in a
	loop and ends when the same port returns to the monitoring
	state. Also called loop tenancy.
throughput	The rate of data flow achieved within a cable, link, or system.
	Usually measured in bits per second (b/s).
topology	With respect to FC, the configuration of the FC network and
	the resulting communication paths allowed. There are three
	possible topologies:
	• Point-to-point: A direct link between two communication
	ports
	• Switched fabric: Multiple N_Ports linked to a switch by
	F_Ports
	• Arbitrated loop: Multiple NL_Ports connected in a loop
transmission char- A 10-bit character encoded according to the rules of the
acter	8b/10b algorithm.
transmission word	A group of transmission characters.
trap (SNMP)	The message sent by an SNMP agent to inform the SNMP

	E_Port, F_Port, or FL_Port. A port is defined as a U_Port when it
	is not connected or has not yet assumed a specific function in
	the fabric. See also E_port, F_port, G_Port.
well-known ad-	With respect to FC, a logical address defined by the FC
dress	standards as assigned to a specific function and stored on the
	switch.
workstation	A computer used to access and manage the fabric. May also
	be called a management station or host.
