10base2
A type of Ethernet that uses RG58 coaxial cable. Also called Thin Ethernet, ThinNet, and CheaperNet.
10base5
The original Ethernet standard that uses a thick coaxial cable. Also called thick Ethernet or standard Ethernet.
10baseT
A type of Ethernet that uses unshielded twisted pair cable.
100baseT4
A 100 megabit/second networking standard based on Ethernet technology that uses four pairs on a Category 3 twisted pair cable (not widely used).
100baseTX
The most popular 100 megabit/second networking standard based on Ethernet technology. It uses two pairs on a Category 5 twisted pair cable.
802.2
(1)The IEEE standard for the Logical Link Control layer of the Ethernet protocol. The LLC layer is implemented as special fields containing control information within an IEEE compatible Ethernet frame.
(2)The NetWare Ethernet frame type that includes both the IEEE 802.3 and 802.2 fields.
802.3
(1)The IEEE standard for Ethernet. (2) The default Ethernet frame type for NetWare 3.xx and 2.xx (also called 802.3 raw; NetWare 802.3 is technically not IEEE compatible because it does not have the 802.2 fields).
A4
The International standard paper size (210 x 297mm).
Address
An identifier. Every device on a network has a unique address.
AIX
The variation of UNIX that runs on IBM computers.
