-----F-----
FCS.
Frame Check Sequence. Data included in frames for error control.
flow control.
Technique using hardware circuits or control characters to regulate the transmission of data
between a computer (or other DTE) and a modem (or other DCE). Typically, the modem has buffers to hold
data; if the buffers approach capacity, the modem signals the computer to stop while it catches up on pro-
cessing the data in the buffer. See CTS, RTS, xon/xoff.
fragmentation.
Process of breaking a packet into smaller units so that they can be sent over a network
medium that cannot transmit the complete packet as a unit.
frame.
Logical grouping of information sent as a link-layer unit. Compare datagram, packet.
FTP.
File Transfer Protocol. Application protocol that lets one IP node transfer files to and from another
node.
FTP server.
Host on network from which clients can transfer files.
-----H-----
Hard MBytes.
Setting the Hard MBytes parameter forces the renegotiation of the IPSec Security Associa-
tions (SAs) at the configured Hard MByte value.
The value can be configured between 1 and 1,000,000 MB and refers to data traffic passed.
Hard Seconds.
Setting the Hard Seconds parameter forces the renegotiation of the IPSec Security Associ-
ations (SAs) at the configured Hard Seconds value. The value can be configured between 60 and
1,000,000 seconds.
A tunnel will star t the process of renegotiation at the soft threshold and renegotiation must happen by the
hard limit or traffic over the tunnel is terminated.
hardware handshake.
Method of flow control using two control lines, usually Request to Send (RTS) and
Clear to Send (CTS).
header.
The por tion of a packet, preceding the actual data, containing source and destination addresses
and error-checking fields.
HMAC. H
ash-based
M
essage
A
uthentication
C
ode
hop.
A unit for measuring the number of routers a packet has passed through when traveling from one net-
work to another.
hop count.
Distance, measured in the number of routers to be traversed, from a local router to a remote
network. See metric.
hub.
Another name for a repeater. The hub is a critical network element that connects ever ything to one
centralized point. A hub is simply a box with multiple por ts for network connections. Each device on the net-
work is attached to the hub via an Ethernet cable.
