during your Router's configuration.
Subnet
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.
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol - The major transport protocol in the Internet suite of
protocols provides reliable, connection-oriented full-duplex streams.
TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol. A simple file transfer protocol (a simplified version of
FTP) that is often boot diskless workstations and other network devices such as
routers over a network (typically a LAN).
Telnet
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.
Transparent bridging
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).
UDP
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 datagram 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.
UNI signaling
User Network Interface signaling for ATM communications.
Virtual Connection (VC)
A link that seems and behaves like a dedicated point-to-point line or a system that
delivers packets in sequence, as happens on an actual point-to-point network. In
