TELNET
TELNET. The Internet standard protocol for remote terminal connection service. TELNET
allows a user at one site to interact with remote timesharing systems at another site
just as if the user’s terminal is connected directly to the remote machine. That is, the
user invokes a TELNET application program that connects to a remote machine,
prompts for a login ID and password, and then passes keystrokes from the user’s
terminal to the remote machine and displays output from the remote machine on the
user’s terminal.
TLD. See Top-Level Domain (TLD)
Top-Level Domain (TLD). Refers to the suffix attached to Internet domain names. There




gov – U.S. government agencies

edu – Educational institutions, such as universities

org – Organizations (mostly nonprofit)

wait mode. In the NonStop Kernel operating system, the mode in which the called
procedure waits for the completion of an input/output (I/O) operation before returning a

Web Container. a Java runtime environment that manages the lifecycle of servlets and JSP.
Web clients. Programs that execute on IBM-compatible PC, Apple Macintosh, or Unix
platforms, among others. They provide a graphic user interface (GUI) for access to
documents and programs on the Web. A web browser is the most familiar example of a
web client.
Web server. Web servers are programs that execute on a variety of server platforms. These
include IBM-compatible servers, Apple Macintosh servers, Unix servers, and a large
number of proprietary hosts. Web server functions can be divided into two parts. A file
server part performs normal file server functions such as file transfer and buffering. A
message switching facility allows messages from web clients to be forwarded to
application programs.
