Forward Explicit Congestion Notification. A bit set and forwarded by the network to notify
users of data traffic congestion, sent in the same direction of the frame carrying the BECN
indicator or bit. Inbound frames may encounter congestion and be dropped.
One identifiable group of data bits that includes a sequence of bits for control and
identification information.
A high-speed connection-oriented packet switching WAN protocol using variable-length
frames.
File Transfer Protocol. A TCP/IP standard protocol that allows a user on one host to

devices.
An ITU recommendation for synchronous frame structures.
