Spanning Tree Protocol is an OSI layer-2 protocol which ensures a loop free topology
for any bridged LAN. The original STP protocol is now obsolete by RSTP.
SyncE is an abbreviation for Synchronous Ethernet. This functionality is used to make
a network 'clock frequency' synchronized. Not to be confused with real time clock
synchronized (IEEE 1588).
is an acronym for Terminal Access Controller Access Control System Plus. It
is a networking protocol which provides access control for routers, network access
servers and other networked computing devices via one or more centralized servers.
provides separate authentication, authorization and accounting services.
Tag Priority is a 3-bit field storing the priority level for the 802.1Q frame.
TCP is an acronym for Transmission Control Protocol. It is a communications protocol
that uses the Internet Protocol (IP) to exchange the messages between computers.
The TCP protocol guarantees reliable and in-order delivery of data from sender to
receiver and distinguishes data for multiple connections by concurrent applications
(for example, Web server and e-mail server) running on the same host.
The applications on networked hosts can use TCP to create connections to one
another. It is known as a connection-oriented protocol, which means that a
connection is established and maintained until such time as the message or
messages to be exchanged by the application programs at each end have been
exchanged. TCP is responsible for ensuring that a message is divided into the packets
that IP manages and for reassembling the packets back into the complete message
at the other end.
Common network applications that use TCP include the World Wide Web (WWW),
e-mail, and File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
TELNET is an acronym for TELetype NETwork. It is a terminal emulation protocol that
uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and provides a virtual connection
between TELNET server and TELNET client.
TFTP is an acronym for Trivial File Transfer Protocol. It is transfer protocol that uses
the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and provides file writing and reading, but it does
not provide directory service and security features.
UDP is an acronym for User Datagram Protocol. It is a communications protocol that
uses the Internet Protocol (IP) to exchange the messages between computers.
