RSTP
In 1998, the IEEE with document 802.1w introduced an evolution of STP: the Rapid Spanning
Tree Protocol, which provides for faster spanning tree convergence after a topology change.
Standard IEEE 802.1D-2004 now incorporates RSTP and obsoletes STP, while at the same
time being backwards-compatible with STP.

SAMBA
Samba
is a program running under UNIX-like operating systems that provides seamless
integration between UNIX and Microsoft Windows machines. Samba acts as file and print
servers for Microsoft Windows, IBM OS/2, and other SMB client machines. Samba uses the
Server Message Block (SMB) protocol and Common Internet File System (CIFS), which is the
underlying protocol used in Microsoft Windows networking.
Samba can be installed on a variety of operating system platforms, including Linux, most
common Unix platforms, OpenVMS, and IBM OS/2.
Samba can also register itself with the master browser on the network so that it would appear
in the listing of hosts in Microsoft Windows "Neighborhood Network".
SHA
SHA
is an acronym for Secure Hash Algorithm. It designed by the National Security Agency
(NSA) and published by the NIST as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard. Hash
algorithms compute a fixed-length digital representation (known as a message digest) of an
input data sequence (the message) of any length.
Shaper
A
shaper
can limit the bandwidth of transmitted frames. It is located after the ingress queues.
SMTP
SMTP
is an acronym for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. It is a text-based protocol that uses
the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and provides a mail service modeled on the
transfer service. SMTP transfers mail messages between systems and notifications regarding
incoming mail.
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
is an acronym for Simple Network Time Protocol, a network protocol for synchronizing
