SNMP. See Simple Network Management Protocol.
spooler. An intercepting program that prevents output from different
sources or workstations from interfering with each of them.
T
TCP. See Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
TCP/IP.
See Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.
TFTP. See Trivial File Transfer Protocol.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The standard protocol that
resides at the transport layer. After two computers establish a connection,
TCP provides a reliable, full duplex, stream service that allows one
computer to send data to another.
Therefore, many operating systems implement TCP; they also implement
the IP protocol to send data across the underlying internet. Although TCP
is a separate protocol from IP, it is often referred to as TCP/IP because
both TCP and IP protocols are often used together.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). The TCP
and IP protocols, used together.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). A TCP/IP protocol that
transfers files with minimum overhead and no guarantee of delivery.
U
UAA. See Universally Administered Address (UAA).
UDP. See User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
Universally Administered Address (UAA). An adapter’s UAA is the
factory-set default address. Network administrators may choose to set a locally
administered address (LAA) for the adapter so that its address is more
meaningful to their workplace.
