BNC
Commonly used connector for coaxial cable. Often used for 10Mbps network
connection (or 10BASE2 network communications).
BUS
An electrical inter-connection which allows two or more lines to be connected
together. Circuit cards with the proper address will be able to access the
appropriate information from the bus.
CLASS I REPEATER
Fast Ethernet repeater that performs translations when transmitting or repeating
incoming signals to enable different physical media to be connected to the same
collision domain; which may have an MII interface. Only one Class I repeater can
be located in the same collision domain.
CLASS II REPEATER
Fast Ethernet repeater that immediately transmits or repeats incoming signals to
other devices on identical media. Only two Class II repeaters can be located in the
same collision domain.
CLASS OF SERVICE (COS)
Data delivery can be priorited by using multiple transmit queues on each switch
port. This can provide independent priorities for various types of data such as
realtime
video, real-time voice, and best-effort data.
