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.
TTL Time To Live
Tx Transmit
BST Micro Base Station
U A unit for measuring the height in rack cabinets. 1U = 1.75 inches.
UDP User Datagram Protocol. Connectionless transport layer protocol in the
TCP/IP protocol stack. UDP is a simple protocol that exchanges datagrams
without acknowledgments or guaranteed delivery, requiring that error
processing and retransmission be handled by other protocols. UDP is
defined in RFC 768.
Up Link
UL
VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. A group of devices on one or more LANs that
are configured with the same VLAN ID so that they can communicate as if
they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on a
number of different LAN segments. Used also to create separation between
different user groups.
VLSI Very Large Scale Integration. The process of placing thousands (or
hundreds of thousands) of electronic components on a single chip.
VoIP Voice over Internet Protocol. Provides an advanced digital communications
network that bypasses the traditional public switched telephone system and
uses the Internet to transmit voice communication. VoIP enables people to
use the Internet as the transmission medium for telephone calls by sending
voice data in packets using IP rather than by traditional circuit switched
transmissions of the PSTN.
