R
R
RARP
RARP is an acronym for Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. It is a protocol that is used to obtain an IP
address for a given hardware address, such as an Ethernet address. RARP is the complement of ARP.
RADIUS
RADIUS is an acronym for Remote Authentication Dial In User Service. It is a networking protocol that
provides centralized access, authorization and accounting management for people or computers to connect
and use a network service.
RDI
RDI is an acronym for Remote Defect Indication. It is a OAM functionality that is used by a MEP to indicate
defect detected to the remote peer MEP
RFC2544
RFC2544 describes a number of tests that may be run to assess the performance characteristics of a network
interconnecting devices. In this context, it is specialized towards determining whether a network section
conforms to a service level agreement (SLA) and is usually run during service activation.
Router Port
A router port is a port on the Ethernet switch that leads switch towards the Layer 3 multicast device.
RSA
RSA is one of the first practicable public-key cryptosystems and is widely used for secure data transmission.
In such a cryptosystem, the encryption key is public and differs from the decryption key which is kept secret.
In RSA, this asymmetry is based on the practical difficulty of factoring the product of two large prime
numbers, the factoring problem. RSA stands for Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman, who first
publicly described the algorithm in 1977. Clifford Cocks, an English mathematician, had developed an
equivalent system in 1973, but it wasn't declassified until 1997.
RSTP
In 1998, the IEEE with document 802.1w introduced an evolution of STP: the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol,
which provides for faster spanning tree convergence after a topology change. Standard IEEE 802.1D-2004
now incorporates RSTP and obsoletes STP, while at the same time being backwards-compatible with STP.
