H

 

 

 

 

H.323

A suite of protocols created by the ITU for interactive video-conferencing, data sharing, and audio

 

 

applications such as VoIP.

half-duplex

Network where only one device at a time can transmit data. See also full-duplex.

headend

A location that receives TV programming, radio programming, data, and telephone calls that it

 

 

modulates onto the HFC network. It also sends return data and telephone transmissions. Headend

 

 

equipment includes transmitters, preamplifiers, frequency terminals, demodulators, modulators, and

 

 

other devices that amplify, filter, and convert incoming broadcast TV signals to wireless and cable

 

 

channels.

header

The data at the beginning of a packet that identifies what is in the packet.

hexadecimal

A base-sixteen numbering system that uses sixteen sequential numbers (0 to 9 and the letters A to F)

 

 

as base units before adding a new position. On computers, hexadecimal is a convenient way to

 

 

express binary numbers.

HFC

A hybrid fiber/coaxial cable network uses fiber-optic cable as the trunk and coaxial cable to the

 

 

subscriber premises.

hop

The interval between two routers on an IP network. The number of hops a packet traverses toward its

 

 

destination (called the hop count) is saved in the packet header. For example, a hop count of six

 

 

means the packet has traversed six routers. The packet hop count increases as the time-to-live (TTL)

 

 

value decreases.

host

In IP, a host is any computer supporting end-user applications or services with full two-way network

 

 

access. Each host has a unique host number that combined with the network number forms its IP

 

 

address.

 

 

Host also can mean:

 

 

A computer running a Web server that serves pages for one or more Web sites belonging to

 

 

organization(s) or individuals

 

 

A company that provides this service

 

 

In IBM environments, a mainframe computer

HTML

Hyper Text Markup Language

hub

On a LAN, a hub is a device that connects multiple hosts to the LAN. A hub performs no data filtering.

 

 

See also bridge and router. An IP hub is typically a unit on a rack or desktop.

 

 

On an HFC network, a hub is a scaled-down headend that performs some or all headend functions for

 

 

part of the system.

Hz

Hertz — one cycle per second. The unit to measure the frequency that an alternating electromagnetic

 

 

signal cycles through its highest and lowest states. Used to define the bands of the electromagnetic

 

 

spectrum used in voice and data communications, or to define the bandwidth of a transmission

 

 

medium.
