response
response. In Distributed Systems Management (DSM), the information or confirmation
supplied (as part of a response message) to an application by a subsystem in response to
a DSM command.
RIP. See Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP). A protocol
used to control packet forwarding between
routers in a network.
RSC. See Remote Server Call (RSC)
.
RSCCOM. A command language interface (CLI) that configures and controls the
Transaction Delivery Process (TDP)
and its objects. Used for Remote Server Call
(RSC).
SAC. See ServerNet addressable controller (SAC)
.
SAP. See Service Advertising Protocol (SAP)
.
SCF. See Subsystem Control Facility (SCF)
.
SCP. See Subsystem Control Point (SCP)
.
sensitive command. A Subsystem Control Facility (SCF)
command that can be issued only
by a restricted set of users, such as the owner of a subsystem process. For NonStop™
Himalaya S-series data communications subsystems, the sensitive commands are those
that can change the state or configuration of objects, start or stop tracing, or change the
values of statistics counters. Contrast nonsensitive command
.
Sequenced Packet Exchange (SPX). A Novell protocol that allows two workstations or
applications to communicate across a local area network (LAN)
. SPX uses the Novell
Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol to deliver messages, but SPX guarantees
their delivery and maintains their order on the packet stream.
server. A program that receives messages from a requester, performs specified operations,
and returns reply messages to the requester. See also client
.
Server Message Block (SMB). A file-server protocol
built into MS-DOS.
ServerNet addressable controller (SAC). A SAC corresponds to controller function
uniquely addressable within one or more ServerNet address domains through the node
ID and address fields in a request packet. Typically, a SAC is implemented on some
portion of a processor multifunction customer-replaceable unit (PMF CRU), an I/O
multifunction CRU, or a ServerNet addressable controller (SAC)
.
ServerNet LAN systems access (SLSA) subsystem. The NonStop™ Himalaya S-series data
communications subsystem that allows the protocol I/O processes (IOPs) and drivers to
access a ServerNet addressable controller (SAC)
on a local area network (LAN).
