GL-15

protocol: A set of rules for communication, sometimes made up of several smaller sets of rules also called protocols. AppleTalk is a protocol that includes the LocalTalk, EtherTalk, and TokenTalk protocols.

Q.922 A (Q.922 Annex A): The international draft standard that defines the structure of frame relay frames. Based on the Q.922A frame format developed by the CCITT. All frame relay frames entering a frame relay network automatically confiorm to this structure. Contrast with LAPB (Link Access Procedure Balanced).

Q.922 A Frame: A variable-length unit of data, formatted in frame-relay (Q.922A) format, that is transmitted through a frame relay network as pure data (i.e., it contains no flow control information). Contrast with Packet. See also Frame Relay Frame.

remapping: See network number remapping.

RFC (Request for Comment): A series of documents used to exchange information and standards about the Internet.

RIP (Routing Information Protocol): A protocol used for the transmission of IP routing information.

RJ-11:A telephone-industry standard connector type, usually containing four pins.

RJ-45:A telephone-industry standard connector type usually containing eight pins.

router: A device that supports LAN-to-LAN communications. A router can connect identical network types, such as LocalTalk-to-LocalTalk, or dissimilar network types, such as LocalTalk-to-Ethernet. However—unless a gateway is available—a common protocol, such as AppleTalk, must be used over both networks. Routers may be equipped to provide frame relay or ISDN line support to the LAN devices they serve. A frame-relay-capable router encapsulates LAN frames in frame relay frames and feeds those frames to a frame relay switch for transmission across the network. See also Bridge and gateway.
