SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol. A network management
protocol that provides a means to monitor and control network
devices, and to manage configurations, statistics collection,
performance, and security. SNMP works by sending messages,
called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network.
SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about
themselves in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return
this data to the SNMP requesters.
SNR
Signal to Noise Ratio. The ratio of the amplitude of a desired
analog or digital data signal to the amplitude of noise in a
transmission channel at a specific point in time. SNR is typically
expressed logarithmically in decibels (dB). SNR measures the
quality of a transmission channel or a signal over a network
channel. The greater the ratio, the easier it is to identify and
subsequently isolate and eliminate the effects of noise. SNR also
is abbreviated as S/N.
SOHO
Small Office Home Office. A term that refers to the small or home
office environment and the business culture that surrounds it.
Typically it refers to an office or business with ten or fewer
computers and/or employees.
SU
Subscriber Unit
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol. Connection-oriented transport
layer protocol that provides reliable full-duplex data
transmission. TCP is the part of the TCP/IP suite of protocols
that is responsible for forming data connections between nodes
that are reliable, as opposed to IP, which is connectionless and
unreliable.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. A set of
protocols developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to allow
communication between dissimilar networks and systems over
long distances. TCP/IP is the de facto standard for data
transmission over networks, including the Internet.
TDM
Time Division Multiplexing. Technique in which information from
multiple channels can be allocated bandwidth on a single link
based on pre-assigned time slots. Bandwidth is allocated to each
channel regardless of whether the station has data to transmit.
TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol. Simplified version of FTP that
allows files to be transferred from one computer to another over a
network, usually without the use of client authentication.
