I
IAB (Internet Activities Board) The technical body that sets policy and standards for
TCP/IP and the connected Internet suite of protocols. Its task forces are the IETF
and IRTF.
IBMCS (IBM Cabling System) Cabling system introduced by IBM in 1984 based
around Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cabling.
ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Protocol allowing status messages to be
generated by an internetworking gateway, indicating a variety of error or unusual
conditions.
ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition) Software similar to OCR, but it learns to
recognize different fonts and character styles, so is more efficient. Useful to make
paper documents accessible via groupware.
IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers: a US publishing and
standards organization responsible for many LAN standards such as the 802 series.
IEEE 802.2 The Data Link standard for use with IEEE 802.3, 802.4 and 802.5
standards. It specifies how the basic data connection should be set up over the
cable.
IEEE 802.3 The IEEE standardization of Ethernet. A Physical Layer definition that
includes specification for physical cabling plus the method of transmitting data and
controlling access to the cable. It uses the CSMA/CD access method on a bus topology
LAN.
IEEE 802.4 The IEEE standardization of Token Bus. A Physical Layer standard that
uses the Token Ring passing access method on a bus topology LAN. Used by LANs
implementing the Manufacturing Automation Protocol. The older Arcnet operates in
a similar way but does not follow 802.4, but Arcnet supporters have been trying to
get the technology ratified by IEEE without success.
IEEE 802.5 The IEEE standardization of IBM Token Ring. A LAN Physical layer
standard that uses the Token Ring passing access method on a ring topology LAN.
