Internetworking Terms And Acronyms. Cisco Systems

Descripción

In the business world, the age of the standalone computer is rapidly
coming to an end. Computer networks are simply too useful to do
without. Using a LocalTalk network, Macintosh users in Marketing can
share product bulletins, data sheets, and slide presentations. Digital
minicomputer users in Accounting can access a common database of
customer information via DECnet. In Engineering, Sun workstation users
can share product specifications using TCP/IP over Ethernet. And, in
Manufacturing, IBM devices attached to a Token Ring network can
process real-time data on material availability and fill orders sent in over
serial links from remote offices.
This glossary attempts to gather and define the terms and acronyms of internetworking. As with any young technical field where hrm definitions
have yet to be standardized, many internetworking terms have several
meanings. Where possible, multiple definitions and acronym expansions
are presented. Few products are defined, because these tend to have a
shorter life than the technologies they represent. And, since acronyms are
often better known than their expansions, terms in this glossary are typically listed under their acronyms, rather than by their acronym expansions.
A concerted attempt has been made to define all acronyms used as part ot
the definitions. Multiword terms are alphabetized as if spaces did not exist.
We hope that this glossary adds to your understanding of internetworking
technologies and specific Cisco terms. Suggestions tor new terms or acronyms and their associated definitions can be submitted via electronic mail
to cs@cisco.com. We look forward to hearing from you
