For routing purposes, IP networks can be divided into logical subnets by using
a subnet mask. Values below those of the mask are valid addresses on the
subnet.
Transmission Control Protocol - The major transport protocol in the Internet
suite of protocols provides reliable, connection-oriented full-duplex streams.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol - A simple file transfer protocol (a simplified
version of FTP) that is often used to boot diskless workstations and other
network devices such as routers over a network (typically a LAN).
The virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols - Allows users of
one host to log into a remote host and act as normal terminal users of that
host.
So named because the intelligence necessary to make relaying decisions
exists in the bridge itself and is thus transparent to the communicating
workstations. It involves frame forwarding, learning workstation addresses
and ensuring no topology loops exist (in conjunction with the Spanning-Tree
algorithm).
User Datagram Protocol - A connectionless transport protocol that runs on top
of TCP/IP's IP. UDP, like TCP, uses IP for delivery; however, unlike TCP,
UDP provides for exchange of datagrams without acknowledgments or
guaranteed delivery. Best suited for small, independent requests, such as
requesting a MIB value from an SNMP agent, in which first setting up a
connection would take more time than sending the data.
User Network Interface signaling for ATM communications.
A link that seems and behaves like a dedicated point-to-point line or a system
