International Organization for Standardization
(ISO). An organization of national standards bodies
from various countries established to promote
development of standards to facilitate international
exchange of goods and services, and develop
cooperation in intellectual, scientific, technological, and
economic activity.
internet. A collection of networks interconnected by a
set of routers that allow them to function as a single,
large network. See also
Internet.
Internet. A worldwide network connecting users
through autonomous networks in industry, education,
government, and research. The Internet network uses
Internet Protocol (IP). The major Internet services
include electronic mail, FTP, telnet, World Wide Web,
and electronic bulletin boards (Usenet). For network
interconnection and routing, and Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP) for end-to-end control. (A)
Internet Protocol (IP). A connectionless protocol that
routes data through a network or interconnected
networks. IP acts as an intermediary between the
higher protocol layers and the physical network.
However, this protocol does not provide error recovery
and flow control and does not guarantee the reliability of
the physical network.
Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX). The network
protocol used to connect Novell's servers, or any
workstation or router that implements IPX, with other
workstations. Although similar to the Internet Protocol
(IP), IPX uses different packet formats and terminology.
IP. Internet Protocol.
IPX. Internetwork Packet Exchange.
ISDN. Integrated services digital network.
ISM. IBM Solution Manager.
ISMD. IBM Software Manufacturing and Delivery.
ISO. International Organization for Standardization.
ISR. Intermediate session routing.
ITU-T. International Telecommunication Union -
Telecommunication (replaces CCITT).
K
Kbps. Kilobits per second (1024 bits per second).
kVA. kilovolt amperes.
L
LAN. Local area network.
LAPD. Link access procedure for D-channel.
LBO. Line build out.
LCS. Logical channel station.
LED. Light-emitting diode.
LIC. Line interface coupler.
Line build out. The voltage level on the RJ-45
connector that terminates your ISDN line at the IBM
2212. LBO accounts for the distance between the IBM
2212 and the telco, the quality of the line, and the
intermediate amplification as specified in dB.
line switching. Synonym for circuit switching.
link. The combination of the link connection (the
transmission medium) and two link stations, one at each
end of the link connection. A link connection can be
shared among multiple links in a multipoint or token-ring
configuration.
link connection. The physical equipment providing
two-way communication between one link station and
one or more other link stations; for example, a
telecommunication line and data circuit-terminating
equipment (DCE). Synonymous with
data circuit.
LMI. Local management interface.
local. Pertaining to a device accessed directly without
use of a telecommunication line.
local area network (LAN). (1) A computer network
located on a user's premises within a limited
geographical area. Communication within a local area
network is not subject to external regulations; however,
communication across the LAN boundary may be
subject to some form of regulation. (T) (2) A network in
which a set of devices are connected to one another for
communication and that can be connected to a larger
network. See also
Ethernet and token ring.
(3) Contrast with
metropolitan area network (MAN) and
wide area network (WAN).
M
MAN. Metropolitan area network.
Management Information Base (MIB). (1) A
collection of objects that can be accessed by means of
a network management protocol. (2) A definition for
management information that specifies the information
