Glossary
The Internet uses the Internet protocol suite. To be on the Internet you must have IP connectivity—i.e., be able to
Telnet to, or ping, other systems. Networks with only e-mail connectivity are not actually classified as being on the
Internet.
Internet address:
A 32-bit address assigned to hosts using TCP/IP.
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA):
The central registry for various Internet protocol parameters, such as
port, protocol and enterprise numbers, and options, codes and types.
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF):
The IETF is a large, open community of network designers, operators,
vendors, and researchers whose purpose is to coordinate the operation, management and evolution of the Internet,
and to resolve short-range and mid-range protocol and architectural issues.
IETF is a major source of proposals for protocol standards that are submitted to the IAB for final approval. The IETF
meets three times a year, and extensive minutes are included in the IETF Proceedings.
Internet Protocol (IP):
The Internet Protocol, defined in STD 5, RFC 791, is the network layer for the TCP/IP Protocol
Suite. It is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. See also: packet switching, Request For
Comments, and TCP/IP Protocol Suite.
Internet Relay Chat (IRC):
A worldwide "party line" protocol that allows one to converse with others in real time. IRC
is structured as a network of servers, each of which accepts connections from client programs, one per user. See
also: Talk.
Internet:
A collection of networks interconnected by a set of routers that allow them to function as a single, large
virtual network.
Internet-Draft (I-D):
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the IETF, its Areas, and its Working Groups. As the
name implies, Internet-Drafts are draft documents. They are valid for a maximum of six months and can be updated,
replaced, or made obsolete by other documents at any time. Very often, I-Ds are precursors to RFCs. See also:
Internet Engineering Task Force and Request For Comments.
Interoperability:
The ability of software and hardware to communicate meaningfully on multiple machines from
multiple vendors.
IP:
See: Internet Protocol
IP address:
The 32-bit address defined by the Internet Protocol in STD 5, RFC 791. It is usually represented in dotted
decimal notation.
IP Datagram:
See: Datagram
IPX:
Internetwork Packet eXchange. Novell's proprietary protocol used by Netware. A router with IPX routing can
interconnect LANs so that Novell Netware clients and servers can communicate. See also: Local Area Network.
IRC:
See: Internet Relay Chat
ISDN:
Integrated Services Digital Network. This is an emerging technology that is beginning to be offered by the
telephone carriers of the world. ISDN combines voice and digital network services in a single medium making it
possible to offer customers digital data services as well as voice connections through a single "wire."
ISO:
