Motorola SVG2500 manual Syslog, Term Definition Tbcp, Tcp/Ip, Tftp, Tkip

17 GLOSSARY
TERM	DEFINITION
	MAC address, in a manner similar to a bridge. A switch is more
	advanced because it can connect more than two segments.
synchronous	The SVG2500 uses synchronous timing for upstream data
	transmissions. The CMTS broadcasts timing messages that
	bandwidth is available. The SVG2500 reserves data bytes
	requiring x number of mini-slots. The CMTS replies that it
	can receive data at a specified time (synchronized). At the
	specified time, the SVG2500 transmits the x-number of data
	bytes.
symbol rate	Also known as baud rate. This is a measure of the number of
	times per second a signal in a communications channel varies
	or makes a transition between states (states being frequencies,
	voltage levels or phase angles). Usually measured in symbols
	per second (sps).
SYSLOG	A de-facto UNIX standard for logging system events.

T

TERM	DEFINITION
TBCP	Tagged Binary Communication Protocol
TCP	Transmission Control Protocol on OSI transport layer four
	provides reliable transport over the network for data transmitted
	using IP (network layer three). It is an end-to-end protocol
	defining rules and procedures for data exchange between hosts
	on top of connectionless IP. TCP uses a timer to track
	outstanding packets, checks error in incoming packets, and
	retransmits packets if requested.
TCP/IP	Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol suite. It provides
	standards and rules for data communication between networks
	on the Internet. It is the worldwide Internetworking standard
	and basic communications protocol of the Internet.
TFTP	Trivial File Transfer Protocol is a very simple protocol used to
	transfer files.
TKIP	Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
Transparent	A method to enable all hosts on the wired Ethernet LAN, WLAN,
bridging	and USB connection to communicate as if they were all
	connected to the same physical network.
transport layer	Layer of the OSI concerned with protocols for error recognition
	and recovery. This layer also regulates information flow.
trunk	Electronic path over which data is transmitted.
