signaling. Establishment of an ATM connection from a
call set up by an end device.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). In
the Internet suite of protocols, a network management
protocol that is used to monitor routers and attached
networks. SNMP is an application layer protocol.
Information on devices managed is defined and stored in
the application’s Management Information Base (MIB).
single mode optical fiber. (1) An optical fiber in which
only the lowest-order bound mode (which can consist of
a pair of orthogonally polarized fields) can propagate at
the wavelength of interest. (E) Contrast with
multimode
optical fiber.
SLIP. Serial Line Internet Protocol.
SNMP. Simple network management protocol.
SMIT. System Management Interface Tool used on
RISC System/6000.
SSI. Switch-to-switch interface.
station. (1) A communication device attached to a
network. The term most often used in LANs is an
attaching device or workstation. (2) An input or output
point of a system that uses telecommunication facilities.
(3) An addressable node on an FDDI network capable
of transmitting, repeating, and receiving information. A
station has exactly one SMT, at least one MAC, at least
one PHY, and at least one PMD.
STP. Shielded twisted pair.
subnet. (1) In TCP/IP, a part of a network that is
identified by a portion of the IP address. (2) Synonym
for
subnetwork.
subnet address. In Internet communications, an
extension of the basic IP addressing scheme where a
portion of the host address is interpreted as the local
network address.
subnet mask. Synonym for address mask.
subnetwork. (1) A group of nodes that have a set of
common characteristics, such as the same network ID.
(2) Synonymous with
subnet.
SVC. Switched virtual connection.
switch-to-switch interface (SSI). The interface
between &amm. subsystems in a cluster.
T
TCP/IP. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
Telnet. In TCP/IP, an application protocol that allows a
user at one site to access a remote system as if the
user’s display station were locally attached. Telnet uses
the Transmission Control Protocol as the underlying
protocol.
TFTP. Trivial File Transfer Protocol.
token ring. A network with a ring topology that passes
tokens from one attaching device (node) to another. A
node that is ready to send can capture a token and
insert data for transmission.
topology. The physical or logical arrangement of nodes
in a computer network. Examples include ring topology
and bus topology.
trace. (1) A record of the execution of a computer
program. It exhibits the sequences in which the
instructions were executed. (A) (2) A record of the
frames and bytes transmitted on a network.
transceiver. Any terminal that can transmit and receive
data.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). A
communications protocol used in the Internet. TCP
provides a reliable host-to-host protocol between hosts
in packet-switched communications networks and in
interconnected systems of such networks. It uses the
Internet Protocol (IP) as the underlying protocol.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP). A set of communications protocols that
support peer-to-peer connectivity functions for both local
and wide area networks.
transmission medium. (1) A physical carrier of
electrical energy or electromagnetic radiation. (2) The
physical medium that conveys data between data
stations; for example, twisted-pair wire, optical fiber,
coaxial cable. (T)
transmit. (1) The action of a station in generating a
token, frame, or other symbol sequence and placing it
on the outgoing medium. (2) The action of a station that
consists of generating a frame, token, or control
sequence, and placing it on the medium to the next
station.
trap. Trajectory analysis program.
