Router
A device for forwarding packets between networks
which uses higher-level network protocols (such as
TCP/IP or IPX) to determine where packets should be
sent. Most routers are capable of forwarding traffic
to Wide Area Network (WAN) connections as well
as between LANs.
Segment Part of an Ethernet or other network on which all
traffic is common to all nodes.
SLIP
Serial Line Internet Protocol; a method of encoding
TCP/IP for transmission over serial lines or modems.
SNMP The Simple Network Management Protocol; an
industry-standard protocol for remotely monitoring
and controlling network devices from a Network
Management System (NMS). SNMP requests are
usually transmitted using TCP/IP, though other means
are possible.
Store-and-Forward Message passing system where the entire message is
received before being passed on to the next node.
STP
Spanning Tree Protocol; a network protocol defined
in IEEE standard 802.1d, ensuring that a collection of
bridges can forward packets throughout the entire
interconnected network, while preventing endless
network loops.
STP
Shielded Twisted Pair; twisted-pair wire with
interference shielding.
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol; a
suite of transport and network layer communications
protocols.
Telnet
Part of the TCP/IP suite of protocols, used for
