LAN See
Laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of
laser
radiation. A device that produces a very powerful narrow beam of
coherent light of a single wavelength by simulating the emissions of
photons from atoms, molecules, or ions.
Amount of time elapsed between receipt of a data transmission at a
latency
switch's incoming fabric port (F_Port) from the originating node port
(N_Port) to retransmission of that data at the switch's outgoing
F_Port to the destination N_Port. The amount of time it takes for data
transmission to pass through a switching device.
