Network Time Protocol. Used by Internet time servers and their peers to
synchronize clocks, as well as automatically organize and maintain the time
synchronization subnet itself.
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol governing the
translation of a Data-Link Control (DLC) address to an IP address. A request
made to an active RARP daemon initiates a search of the Ethernet Address Table
for an entry matching the unit's Ethernet address. If a matching entry is found,
the daemon then downloads the IP address to the device. RARP operates within
a single network segment only, i.e. it does not work over routers.
Reduced Instruction Set Computing. A processor that recognizes only a limited
number of assembly-language instructions.
Service Advertising Protocol. A network name advertising service that e.g. file
servers can use for advertising their existence to network clients.
Small Computer System Interface. A high-speed parallel interface, used to
connect a computer to peripheral devices using just one port.
Service Location Protocol. A protocol used for advertising and discovering
network services, e.g. printers and CD servers.
Server Message Blocks. A protocol that makes use of NetBIOS.
Simple Network Management Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol for managing and
monitoring nodes on a network.
Transmission Control Protocol. The connection-oriented, transport-level
protocol used in the TCP/IP suite of protocols.
Universal Disk Format. A specification developed by OSTA (Optical Storage
Technology Association) for use in optical storage devices. The file format for
DVD.
A 32-bit multitasking, multiuser operating system originally developed by
AT&T.
Uniform Resource Locator. A way of specifying the location of publicly available
information on the Internet.
Windows Internet Name Service. Allows Windows-based clients to locate
NetBIOS resources on TCP/IP networks. When using TCP/IP, the computer
name must be resolved to an IP address. WINS is designed to eliminate the need
for broadcasts in order to resolve computer names to IP addresses. It provides a
dynamic database that maintains computer name to IP address mappings.
A form of user assistance that automates a task through a dialog with the user in
order to speed up operation. These tasks are typically complex and require
experience.
