APPENDIX A
ACRONYMS
169
The TCP protocol guarantees reliable and in-order delivery of data from sender to receiver and distinguishes data
for multiple connections by concurrent applications (for example, Web server and e-mail server) running on the same
host.
The applications on networked hosts can use TCP to create connections to one another. It is known as a connection-
oriented protocol, which means that a connection is established and maintained until such time as the message or
messages to be exchanged by the application programs at each end have been exchanged. TCP is responsible for
ensuring that a message is divided into the packets that IP manages and for reassembling the packets back into the
complete message at the other end.
Common network applications that use TCP include the World Wide Web (WWW), e-mail, and File Transfer Protocol
(FTP).
TELNET
TELNET is an acronym for TELetype NETwork. It is a terminal emulation protocol that uses the Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP) and provides a virtual connection between TELNET server and TELNET client.
TELNET enables the client to control the server and communicate with other servers on the network. To start a
Telnet session, the client user must log in to a server by entering a valid username and password. Then, the client user
can enter commands through the Telnet program just as if they were entering commands directly on the server
console.
TFTP
TFTP is an acronym for Trivial File Transfer Protocol. It is transfer protocol that uses the User Datagram Protocol
(UDP) and provides file writing and reading, but it does not provide directory service and security features.
ToS
ToS is an acronym for Type of Service. It is implemented as the IPv4 ToS priority control. It is fully decoded to
determine the priority from the 6-bit ToS field in the IP header. The most significant 6 bits of the ToS field are fully
decoded into 64 possibilities, and the singular code that results is compared against the corresponding bit in the IPv4
ToS priority control bit (0~63).
TLV
TLV is an acronym for Type Length Value. A LLDP frame can contain multiple pieces of information. Each of these
pieces of information is known as TLV.
TKIP
TKIP is an acronym for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. It used in WPA to replace WEP with a new encryption
algorithm. TKIP comprises the same encryption engine and RC4 algorithm defined for WEP. The key used for
encryption in TKIP is 128 bits and changes the key used for each packet.
UDP
UDP is an acronym for User Datagram Protocol. It is a communications protocol that uses the Internet Protocol (IP)
to exchange the messages between computers.
UDP is an alternative to the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) that uses the Internet Protocol (IP). Unlike TCP,
UDP does not provide the service of dividing a message into packet datagrams, and UDP doesn't provide reassembling
and sequencing of the packets. This means that the application program that uses UDP must be able to make sure that
the entire message has arrived and is in the right order. Network applications that want to save processing time
because they have very small data units to exchange may prefer UDP to TCP.
UDP provides two services not provided by the IP layer. It provides port numbers to help distinguish different user
requests and, optionally, a checksum capability to verify that the data arrived intact.
Common network applications that use UDP include the Domain Name System (DNS), streaming media applications
such as IPTV, Voice over IP (VoIP), and Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).
UPnP
UPnP is an acronym for Universal Plug and Play. The goals of UPnP are to allow devices to connect seamlessly and to
simplify the implementation of networks in the home (data sharing, communications, and entertainment) and in
corporate environments for simplified installation of computer components.
