IETF
Internet Engineering Task Force. One of the task forces of the
IAB (Internet Architecture Board), formally called the Internet
Activities Board, which is the technical body that oversees the
development of the Internet suite of protocols (commonly referred
to as "TCP/IP").The IETF is responsible for solving short-term
engineering needs of the Internet.
IF
Intermediate Frequency. Radio communications systems
modulate a carrier frequency with a baseband signal in ord
achieve radio transmission. In many cases, the carrie
modulated directly. Instead, a lower IF signal is modulated and
processed. At a later circuit stage, the IF signal is converted up to
the transmission frequency band.
IP
Internet Protocol. The standard that defines how data is
transmitted over the Internet. IP bundles data, including e-mail,
faxes, voice calls and messages, and other types, into "packets"
in order to transmit it over public and private networks.
IPsec
Security Architecture for IP Network. IP Control Protocol (IPC
and IPv6 Control Protoc
IP layer by enabling a system to select required security
protocols, determine the algorithm(s) to use for the service(s),
put in place any cryptographic keys required to provide the
requested services. IPsec can be used to protect one or more
"paths" between a pair of hosts, between a pair of security
gateways, or between a security gateway and a host.
ITU-T
International Telecommunication Union – Telecommunications.
An intergovernmental organization through which public and
private organizations develop telecommunications. The ITU was
founded in 1865 and be
is responsible for adopting international treaties, regulations and
standards governing telecommunications. The standardization
functions were formerly performed by a group within the ITU
called CCITT, but after a 1992 reorganization the CCITT no
longer exists as a separate entity.
LAN
Local area Network. A computer network limited to a small
geographical area, such as a single building. The network
typically links PCs as well a
MAC
Media Access Control. The lower of the two sub-layers of the data
link layer defined by the IEEE. The MAC sub-layer handles
access to shared media, such as whether token passing or
contention will be used.
