FTP File Transfer Protocol. A protocol based on TCP/IP for reliable file
transfer.
A system that allows packets to be transmitted and received at the
same time and, in effect, doubles the potential throughput of a link.
See router.
IEEE standard 802.3z for 1000 Mbps Ethernet; it is compatible with
existing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet standards.
A system that allows packets to transmitted and received, but not at
the same time. Contrast with full duplex.
A device that regenerates LAN traffic so that the transmission distance
of that signal can be extended. Hubs are similar to repeaters, in that
they connect LANs of the same type; however they connect more LANs
than a repeater and are generally more sophisticated.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol. This is a set of rules for exchanging files
(text, graphic images, sound, video, and other multimedia files) on the
World Wide Web.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL. The term is used to describe HTTP
transfers that are encrypted using the SSL protocol.
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. This American
organization was founded in 1963 and sets standards for computers
and communications.
A standard that defines the behavior of bridges in an Ethernet network.
A standard that defines traffic prioritization. 802.1p is now
incorporated into the relevant sections of the IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998
Edition.
A standard that defines VLAN tagging.
A standard that defines link aggregation. 802.3ad is now incorporated
into the relevant sections of the IEEE Std 802.3-2002.
A standard that defines a system of flow control for ports that operate
in full duplex. 802.3x is now incorporated into the relevant sections of
the IEEE Std 802.3-2002.
