SAMBA
Samba is a program running under UNIX-like operating
systems that provides seamless integration between UNIX and
Microsoft Windows machines. Samba acts as file and print
servers for Microsoft Windows and other SMB client machines.
Samba uses the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol and
Common Internet File System (CIFS), which is the underlying
protocol used in Microsoft Windows networking.
Samba can be installed on a variety of operating system
platforms, including Linux and most common Unix platforms.
Samba can also register itself with the master browser on the
network so that it would appear in the listing of hosts in
Microsoft Windows "Neighborhood Network".
SHA SHA is an acronym for Secure Hash Algorithm. It designed by
the National Security Agency (NSA) and published by the NIST
as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard. Hash
algorithms compute a fixed-length digital representation
(known as a message digest) of an input data sequence (the
message) of any length.
Shaper A shaper can limit the bandwidth of transmitted frames. It is
located after the ingress queues.
SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. It is a text-based protocol that
uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and provides a
mail service modeled on the FTP file transfer service. SMTP
transfers mail messages between systems and notifications
regarding incoming mail.
SNAP SubNetwork Access Protocol (SNAP). It is a mechanism for
multiplexing, on networks using IEEE 802.2 LLC, more
protocols than can be distinguished by the 8-bit 802.2 Service
Access Point (SAP) fields. SNAP supports identifying protocols
by Ethernet type field values; it also supports vendor-private
protocol identifiers.
SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. It is part of the
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
protocol for network management. SNMP allows diverse
network objects to participate in a network management
architecture. It enables network management systems to learn
network problems by receiving traps or change notices from
network devices implementing SNMP.
SNTP Simple Network Time Protocol. A network protocol for
synchronizing the clocks of computer systems. SNTP uses
UDP (datagrams) as a transport layer.
SPROUT Stack Protocol using Routing Technology. An advanced
protocol for almost instantaneous discovery of topology
changes within a stack as well as election of a master switch.
SPROUT also calculates parameters for setting up each switch
to perform the shortest path forwarding within the stack.
