  2. Parallel port - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_port

    In computing, a parallel port is a type of interface found on early computers (personal and otherwise) for connecting peripherals. The name refers to the way the data is sent; parallel ports send multiple bits of data at once (parallel communication), as opposed to serial communication, in which bits are sent one at a

  3. Parallel communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_communication

    Parallel communication is and always has been widely used within integrated circuits, in peripheral buses, and in memory devices such as RAM. Computer system buses, on the other hand, have evolved over time: parallel communication was commonly used in earlier system buses, whereas serial communications are prevalent in modern computers.

  4. Computer network diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network_diagram

    A computer network diagram is a schematic depicting the nodes and connections amongst nodes in a computer network or, more generally, any telecommunications network. Computer network diagrams form an important part of network documentation.

  5. Link aggregation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_aggregation

    In computer networking, link aggregation is the combining (aggregating) of multiple network connections in parallel by any of several methods. Link aggregation increases total throughput beyond what a single connection could sustain, and provides redundancy where all but one of the physical links may fail without losing connectivity.

  6. Parallel Line Internet Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_Line_Internet...

    PLIP provides link layer services for the Internet Protocol, which is used for forming small local area networks and large computer networks, such as the Internet. This enables computers without standard dedicated networking hardware, such as Ethernet, but with older parallel port devices, to communicate.

  7. Transmission Control Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol

    Port numbers are categorized into three basic categories: well-known, registered, and dynamic or private. The well-known ports are assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and are typically used by system-level processes. Well-known applications running as servers and passively listening for connections typically use these ports.

    An IEEE 1284 36-pin female on a circuit board. In the 1970s, Centronics developed the now-familiar printer parallel port that soon became a de facto standard.Centronics had introduced the first successful low-cost seven-wire print head [citation needed], which used a series of solenoids to pull the individual metal pins to strike a ribbon and the paper.

  9. Two-port network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-port_network

    Figure 1: Example two-port network with symbol definitions. Notice the port condition is satisfied: the same current flows into each port as leaves that port.. In electronics, a two-port network (a kind of four-terminal network or quadripole) is an electrical network (i.e. a circuit) or device with two pairs of terminals to connect to external circuits.
