which is the underlying protocol used in Microsoft Windows networking.
Samba can be installed on a variety of operating system platforms, including Linux, most common Unix platforms,
OpenVMS, and IBM OS/2.
Samba can also register itself with the master browser on the network so that it would appear in the listing of hosts in
Microsoft Windows "Neighborhood Network".
SHA
SHA is an acronym for Secure Hash Algorithm. It designed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and published by
the NIST as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard. Hash algorithms compute a fixed-length digital
representation (known as a message digest) of an input data sequence (the message) of any length.
Shaper
A shaper can limit the bandwidth of transmitted frames. It is located after the ingress queues.
SMTP
SMTP is an acronym for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. It is a text-based protocol that uses the Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP) and provides a mail service modeled on the FTP file transfer service. SMTP transfers mail messages
between systems and notifications regarding incoming mail.
SNAP
The SubNetwork Access Protocol (SNAP) is a mechanism for multiplexing, on networks using IEEE 802.2 LLC, more
protocols than can be distinguished by the 8-bit 802.2 Service Access Point (SAP) fields. SNAP supports identifying
protocols by Ethernet type field values; it also supports vendor-private protocol identifier.
SNMP
SNMP is an acronym for Simple Network Management Protocol. It is part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol for network management. SNMP allow diverse network objects to participate in a network
management architecture. It enables network management systems to learn network problems by receiving traps or
change notices from network devices implementing SNMP.
SNTP
SNTP is an acronym for Simple Network Time Protocol, a network protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer
systems. SNTP uses UDP (datagrams) as transport layer.
SPROUT
Stack Protocol using ROUting Technology. An advanced protocol for almost instantaneous discovery of topology
changes within a stack as well as election of a master switch. SPROUT also calculates parameters for setting up each
switch to perform shortest path forwarding within the stack.
SSID
Service Set Identifier is a name used to identify the particular 802.11 wireless LANs to which a user wants to attach. A
client device will receive broadcast messages from all access points within range advertising their SSIDs, and can
choose one to connect to based on pre-configuration, or by displaying a list of SSIDs in range and asking the user to
