GLOSSARY Glossary ARP. Address Resolution Protocol. An IP protocol used to obtain a node's physical address. Bandwidth. The upper limit on the amount of data, typically in kilobits per second (kbps), that can pass through a network connection. Greater bandwidth indicates faster data transfer capability. Bit. A Binary digit. The smallest unit of information handled by a computer; either 1 or 0 in the binary number system. Blade.
FDDI. Fiber Distributed Data Interface. A set of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) protocols for sending digital data over fiber optic cable. FDDI networks are token-passing networks, and support data rates of up to 100 Mbps (100 million bits) per second. FDDI networks are typically used as backbones for WideArea Networks (WANs). Filer. An appliance that attaches to a computer network and is used for data storage. Gateway.
Internet. The collection of networks tied together to provide a global network that use the TCP/IP suite of protocols. IP. Internet protocol. Network layer protocol in the TCP/IP stack that enables a connectionless internetwork service. IPsec. Internet Protocol Security Protocol. A set of protocols to support secure exchange of packets at the IP layer. IPsec has been deployed widely to implement Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). IPsec supports two encryption modes: Transport and Tunnel.
state algorithms to send routing information to all nodes in an internetwork by calculating the shortest path to each node based on a topography of the Internet constructed by each node. Each router sends that portion of the routing table (keeps track of routes to particular network destinations) that describes the state of its own links. It also sends the complete routing structure (topography). Packet. A unit of information transmitted, as a whole, from one device to another on a network. Probe.
