FDDI, or Ethernet. The Router Information Protocol (RIP),a part of
the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
suite, forwards packets from one network to another using the
same network protocol.
R
RJ-45 RJ-45 connector is used for Ethernet cable connections.
Router A router is the network software or hardware entity charged with
routing packets between networks.
RTP RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is a data transfer protocol
defined to deliver live media
to the clients at the same time, which
defines the transmission of video and audio files in real time for
Internet applications.
RTSP RTSP (Real-time Streaming Protocol) is the standard used to
transmit stored media to the client(s) at the same time, which
provides client controls for random access to the content stream.
S
Server It is a simple computer that provides resources, such as files or
other information.
SIP
SIP (Session Initiated Protocol) is a standard protocol that delivers
the real-time communication for Voice over IP (VoIP), which
establishes sessions for features such as audio and video
conferencing.
SMTP The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is used for Internet mail.
SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP was designed to
provide a common foundation for managing network devices.
Station In LANs, a station consists of a device that can communicate data
on the network. In FDDI, a station includes both physical nodes
and addressable logical devices. Workstations, single-attach
stations, dual-attach stations, and concentrators are FDDI
stations.
Subnet mask In TCP/IP, the bits used to create the subnet are called the subnet
mask.
T
(TCP/IP) Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is a widely used
transport protocol that connects diverse computers of various
transmission methods. It was developed y the Department of
Defense to connect different computer types and led to the
development of the Internet.
Transceiver A transceiver joins two network segments together. Transceivers
can also be used to join a segment that uses one medium to a
segment that uses a different medium. On a 10BASE-5 network,
the transceiver connects the network adapter or other network
device to the medium. Transceivers also can be used on 10BASE-
2 or 10BASE-T networks to attach devices with AUI ports.
U
UDP The User Datagram Protocol is a connectionless protocol that
resides above IP in the TCP/IP suite
