SNAP
The SubNetwork Access Protocol (SNAP) is a mechanism for multiplexing, on networks using IEEE 802.2
LLC, more protocols than can be distinguished by the 8-bit 802.2 Service Access Point (SAP) fields. SNAP
supports identifying protocols by Ethernet type field values; it also supports vendor-private protocol
identifier.
SNMP
SNMP is an acronym for Simple Network Management Protocol. It is part of the Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol for network management. SNMP allow diverse network
objects to participate in a network management architecture. It enables network management systems
to learn network problems by receiving traps or change notices from network devices implementing
SNMP.
SNTP
SNTP is an acronym for Simple Network Time Protocol, a network protocol for synchronizing the clocks
of computer systems. SNTP uses UDP (datagrams) as transport layer.
SPROUT
Stack Protocol using ROUting Technology. An advanced protocol for almost instantaneous discovery of
topology changes within a stack as well as election of a master switch. SPROUT also calculates
parameters for setting up each switch to perform shortest path forwarding within the stack.
SSID
Service Set Identifier is a name used to identify the particular 802.11 wireless LANs to which a user
wants to attach. A client device will receive broadcast messages from all access points within range
advertising their SSIDs, and can choose one to connect to based on pre-configuration, or by displaying a
list of SSIDs in range and asking the user to select one (wikipedia).
SSH
SSH is an acronym for Secure SHell. It is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged using a
secure channel between two networked devices. The encryption used by SSH provides confidentiality
and integrity of data over an insecure network. The goal of SSH was to replace the earlier rlogin, TELNET
and rsh protocols, which did not provide strong authentication or guarantee confidentiality (Wikipedia).
