MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm
An algorithm that is used to create digital signatures. It is intended for use
with 32 bit machines and is safer than the MD4 algorithm, which has been
broken. MD5 is a one-way hash function, meaning that it takes a message
and converts it into a fixed string of digits, also called a message digest.
Multicast Switching
A process whereby the switch filters incoming multicast frames for
services for which no attached host has registered, or forwards them to all
ports contained within the designated multicast VLAN group.
