Router. Network layer device that uses one or more metrics to determine the optimal path to forward network traffic. Routers forward packets from one network to another based on network layer information. a router may connect networks using various protocols by encapsulating data within another network’s packet format or by removing layers of packet formatting.

SNMP. Simple Network Management Protocol. Network management protocol used in TCP/IP networks. SNMP provides a way to monitor and control network devices and to manage configurations, Statistics collection, performance and security.

Subnet Mask. 32-bit address mask that indicates the bits of an IP address used for the subnet address.

SVC. Switched Virtual Circuit. Virtual circuit that is dynamically established on demand and is torn down when transmission is complete.

T1. Network connection with a capacity of 1.544 Mbps, divided into 24 separate channels (or DS0s).

TCP/IP. Protocols used for IP networks, such as the Internet, Intranets and many LANs. IP networks are connectionless, packet switching networks.

TFTP. Trivial File Transfer Protocol. Simplified version of FTP that transfers files from one computer to another over a network.

WAN. Wide Area Network. Data communications network that serves users across a broad geographic area and often uses transmission devices provided by common carriers. Frame Relay is an example of a WAN.
