CRC
Cyclical Redundancy Check. A common technique for detecting
data transmission errors, in which the frame recipient calcul
a remainder by dividing frame contents by a prime binary d
and compares the calculated remainder to a value stored in
frame by the sending equipment.
CSMA/CD
Carrier Sen
access mechanisms wherein devices ready to transmit data first
check the channel for a carrier. If no carrier is sensed for a
specific period of time, a device can transmit. If two devices
transmit
colliding devices. This collision subsequently delays
retransmissions from those devices for some random length of
time. Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 use CSMA/CD access.
CT
Committed Time. The time int
information transfer rates.
DHCP

assigning IP addresses from a pre-defined list to nodes on a
network. Using DHCP to mana

DSCP
Differentiated Service Code Point, AKA DiffServ: An alternate use
for the ToS byte in IP packets. Six bits of this byte are being
reallocated for use as the DSCP field where each DSCP specifies a
particular per-hop behavior that is applied to the packet.
EMC
Electro-Magnetic Compatibility. The capability of equipment or
systems to be used in their intended enviro
designed efficiency levels without causing or receiving
degradation due to unintentional EMI (Electro Magnetic
Interference). EMC generally encompasses all of the
electromagnetic disciplines.

Federal Communications Commission. A U.S. government agency
that supervises, licenses, and controls electronic and
electromagnetic transmission standards.
