FTP
or XML respectively. As with Handlers, additional Formatters may be developed by
third parties.
FTP. See File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
gateway. A special-purpose, dedicated computer that attaches to two or more networks and
routes packets from one to the other. In particular, an Internet gateway routes Internet
Protocol (IP) datagrams among the networks to which it is connected. Gateways route
packets to other gateways until they can be delivered to the final destination directly
across one physical network. The term is loosely applied to any machine that transfers
information from one network to another, as in mail gateway.
GESA. See Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet Adapter (GESA).
Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet Adapter (GESA). A A single-port ServerNet adapter that
provides 1000 megabits/second (Mbps) data transfer rates between HP NonStop™
systems and Ethernet LANs. A GESA can be directly installed in slots 51 through 54 of
an I/O enclosure and slots 53 and 54 of a processor enclosure.
Two versions of the GESA are available:

3865 GESA-C (T523572): a single-port copper version compliant with the 1000
Base-T standard (802.3ab)

3865 GESA-F (T523572): a single-port fiber version compliant with the 1000 Base-
SX standard (802.z)
Handler. Exports LogRecord objects to a variety of destinations including memory, output
streams, consoles, files, and sockets. A variety of Handler subclasses exist for this
purpose. Additional Handlers may be developed by third parties and delivered on top
of the core platform.
hierarchical routing. Routing based on a hierarchical addressing scheme. Most Internet
routing is based on a two-level hierarchy in which an Internet address is divided into a
network portion and a host portion. Gateways use only the network portion until the
datagram reaches a gateway that can deliver it directly. Subnetting introduces
additional levels of hierarchical routing
HyperText Markup Language (HTML). The tagging language used to format HyperText
documents on the World Wide Web. It is built on top of Standard Generalized Markup
Language (SGML).
HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP). The communications protocol used for transmitting
data between servers and web clients (browsers) on the World Wide Web.
IEEE. See Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
.
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). An international industry group
that develops standards for many areas of electrical engineering and computers.
