NEED HELP? LEAVE THE TECH TO US LIVE 24/7 APPENDIX E - GLOSSARY TECHNICAL SUPPORT 1.877.877.2269 E.1 INTERNET GROUP MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL Where an ServSwitch Agility local unit is required to stream video to two or more remote units, multicasting is the method used. Multicasting involves the delivery of identical data to multiple remote units simultaneously without the need to maintain individual links. - Page 38 NEED HELP? LEAVE THE TECH TO US LIVE 24/7 TECHNICAL SUPPORT 1.877.877.2269 E.2 JUMBO FRAMES (JUMBO PACKETS) Since its commercial introduction in 1980, the Ethernet standard has been successfully extended and adapted to keep pace with the ever improving capabilities of computer systems. The achievable data rates, for instance, have risen in ten-fold leaps from the original 10Mbit/s to a current maximum of 100Gbit/s.
- Page 39 NEED HELP? LEAVE THE TECH TO US LIVE 24/7 TECHNICAL SUPPORT 1.877.877.2269 E.4 FORWARDING MODES In essence, the job of a layer 2 switch is to transfer as fast as possible, data packets arriving at one port out to another port as determined by the destination address.
- Page 40 NEED HELP? LEAVE THE TECH TO US LIVE 24/7 TECHNICAL SUPPORT 1.877.877.2269 As your data travel down from you towards the transmission medium (the cable), they are successively encapsulated at each layer within a new wrapper (along with a few instructions), ready for transport. Once transmission has been made to the intended destination, the reverse occurs: Each wrapper is stripped away and the instructions examined until finally only the original data are left.
