responsible for formatting and presenting and presenting

 

data that will be transferred from file server memory to

 

the file server’s net work adapter Others are responsible

 

for filtering information between networks and forwarding

 

data to its destination. Still other protocols dictate how

 

data is transferred across the medium, and how servers

 

respond to workstation requests and vice versa.

 

Common network protocols responsible for the

 

presentation and formatting of data for a network

 

operating system are the Internetwork Packet Exchange

 

(IPX) protocol or the Internet Protocol (IP). Protocols that

 

dictate the format of data for transferors the medium

 

include token-passing and Carrier Sense Multiple Access

 

with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD), implemented as

 

token-ring, ARCNET, FDDI, or Ethernet. The Router

 

Information Protocol (RIP),a part of the Transmission

 

Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite,

 

forwards packets from one network to another using the

 

same network protocol.

R

 

RJ-45

RJ-45 connector is used for Ethernet cable connections.

Router

A router is the network software or hardware entity

 

charged with routing packets between networks.

S

 

Server

It is a simple computer that provides resources, such as

 

files or other information.

SIP

SIP (Session Initiated Protocol) is a standard protocol

 

that delivers the real-time communication for Voice over

 

IP (VoIP), which establishes sessions for features such

 

as audio and video conferencing.

SMTP

The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is used for Internet

 

mail.

SNMP
