service. RADIUS allows a company to maintain user profiles
in a central database that all remote servers can share.
Reduced Instruction Set Computer. This describes a computer
processor architecture that uses a reduced set of instructions
(and achieves performance by executing those instructions
very fast.) Most UNIX servers (Sun Sparc, HP, IBM RS6000,
Compaq Alpha) were designed with a processor using a RISC
architecture. The Intel
Root is the term for a very highly privileged administrative
user (particularly in Unix environments). When an ISP grants
you root access, it means you will have full control of the
server. With full control, you will be able to install any
software and access any file on that server.
The Routing Table defines which interface should transmit an
IP packet based on destination IP information.
Short for Remote Procedure Call. A type of protocol that
allows a program on one computer to execute a program
on a server. Using RPC, a system developer do not need
to develop specific procedures for the server. The client
program sends a message to the server with appropriate
arguments and the server returns a message containing
the results of the program executed.
SSH has the same functionality as Telnet (see definition for
Telnet), but adds security by encrypting data before sending
it through the network.
A collection of servers running in the same location (see
Cluster).
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. Specifies the format of
messages that an SMTP client on one computer can use to
send electronic mail to an SMTP server on another computer.
Short for Simple Network Management Protocol, a set of
protocols for managing complex networks. The first versions
of SNMP were developed in the early 80s. SNMP works by
®
x86 architecture.
