Router:
A system responsible for making decisions about which of several paths
network (or Internet) traffic will follow. To do this, it uses a routing protocol to gain
information about the network and algorithms to choose the best route based on
several criteria known as "routing metrics.
Spanning Tree:
Spanning-Tree Bridge Protocol (STP). Part of an IEEE standard. A
mechanism for detecting and preventing loops from occurring in a multi-bridged
environment. When bridges connect three or more LAN segments, a loop can occur.
Because a bridge forwards all packets that are not recognized as being local, some
packets can circulate for long periods of time, eventually degrading system
performance. This algorithm ensures only one path connects any pair of stations,
selecting one bridge as the 'root' bridge, with the highest priority one as identifier,
from which all paths should radiate.
TELNET: The virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols. Allows users
of one host to log into a remote host and act as normal terminal users of that host.
VCI:
Virtual Circuit Identifier. Part of the ATM cell header, a VCI is a tag indicating
the channel over which a cell will travel. The VCI of a cell can be changed as it
moves between switches via Signaling.
VPI:
Virtual Path Identifier. Part of the ATM cell header, a VPI is a pipe for a number
of Virtual Circuits.
WAN:
Wide area network. A data communications network that spans any distance
and is usually provided by a public carrier (such as a telephone company or service
provider)
