Flash Response Mode	A solution to DNS site balancing based on network latency. Rather
	than attempt to actual measure network latency to a client DNS
	server, Flash DNS broadcasts separate responses simultaneously
	from each of the balanced sites. The response from the site with the
	least network latency to the client DNS server arrives first to be used.
	All other responses are discarded by the client DNS server as part of
	normal DNS protocol.
Flash Peer	Broadcaster of a Flash DNS answer.
Flash Source	A Flash Source is the Flash Peer that is responsible for referring VIPs
	associated with an Agent or Pseudo-Agent when Flash DNS site
	balancing is used. The Flash Source generally must be on the same
	network as the Agent/Pseudo-Agent or at least behind the same
	router. When Flash DNS support is enabled on a load balancer, both
	the Flash Source and Agent have the same address (the online outside
	IP address of the load balancer).
Global Sync	The process of automatically transferring (copying) the primary 7190
	configuration to a secondary 7190.
HTTP	Hypertext Transfer Protocol: the protocol used between a web
	browser and a server to request a document and transfer its contents.
HTTPS	HTTP exchanged over an SSL-encrypted session.
IP	Internet Protocol
IP Address	A unique identifier for a node on an IP network. Expressed in “dotted
	decimal” notation. For example: 10.0.0.1.
IP Service	A network-accessible, IP-accessible Application Protocol. For
	example: HTTP, FTP, and the like. For administration purposes of
	the Intel Netstructure products, services are identified by Virtual
	IP:Port.
ISV	Intelligent Site Verification. Intelligent Site Verification is used to
	determine the availability of a third-party load balancer site. Methods
	of verification include a site ping, TCP connect, and HTTP probe.
ITM (Internet Traffic	Intel® NetStructure™ 7140 and 7170 Traffic Director products, used
Manager)	for load balancing.
Least Connections	This algorithm sends requests to the site with the lowest number of
	connections. Least connections offers more effective management
	for long sessions, such as FTP.
