QoS (Quality of
Service)
Priority given to different users or data flows across managed IP networks. This
generally requires a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with a Telco or ISP
RTP
A standardized packet format for sending audio and video data streams and
ensures consistency in the delivery order of voice data packets
Runtime (edits)
Configuration changes which have not yet been saved, e.g. Matrix Editor edits.
SDP
SDP defines the type of audio coding used within an RTP media stream. It
works with a number of other protocols to establishes a device’s location,
determines its availability, negotiates call features and participants and adjusts
session management features
SIP
SIP is a common protocol which works with a myriad of other protocols to
establish connections with other devices to provide interoperability
SLA
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) a contractual agreement between an ISP and
a customer defining expected performance levels over a network
SmartStream
PLUS
Tieline implementation of redundant IP streaming.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol: Simple Network Management Protocol:
a protocol used mostly in network management systems to monitor devices for
conditions that warrant administrative attention.
SPID
Service Profile ID for identifying devices over ISDN networks
SSL
Secure Sockets Layer is a security protocol for establishing encrypted links
between a web server and a browser for online communication
STL
Studio-to-transmitter link for program audio feeds
STS
Studio-to-studio audio link
STUN
The STUN protocol (Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs) assists devices
behind a NAT firewall or router with packet routing. A STUN client generates
STUN requests and a STUN server, attached to the public internet, receives
STUN requests and sends responses.
TCP
TCP protocol ensures reliable in-order delivery of data packets between a
sender and a receiver
TieLink
Traversal Server used to add Tieline codecs to a TieServer Domain and
centralize codec contact list management, by providing self-discovery of
codecs within call-groups, and NAT traversal to simplify connections.
TieServer
Centralized servers providing domain management facilities for Tieline
applications including the TieServer Console, Cloud Codec Controller and
TieLink Traversal Server.
TieServer
Domain
A high-level group, associated with a particular broadcaster/customer, that is
used
to
securely
demarcate
their
Tieline
assets
from
other
broadcasters/customers. It applies to usage and management of Tieline
codecs and Report-IT users when using Tieline applications including the
TieServer Console, Cloud Codec Controller and TieLink Traversal Server.
TLS
Transport Layer Security is an updated version of SSL.
TTL
Time-to-Live is the setting used in muliticast servers to ensure data packets
have a finite life and don't cause congestion over networks.
UDP
User Datagram Protocol: the most commonly used protocol for sending internet
audio and video streams. UDP packets include information which allows them
to travel independently of previous or future packets in a data stream
Unicast
Broadcasting of a single stream of data between two points
VLAN
Virtual Local Area Network: partitioning of a single layer-2 network to create
multiple distinct broadcast domains
WAN
Wide Area Network; a computer network spanning regions and/or countries to
connect separate LANs
