The Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS) is a Microsoft proprietary protocol used mostly on top of USB. [1] It provides a virtual Ethernet link to most versions of the Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD operating systems. Multiple revisions of a partial RNDIS specification are available from Microsoft, but Windows implementations have ...
The AEGIS Protocol is an 802.1X supplicant (i.e. handles authentication for wired and wireless networks, such as those that use WPA-PSK, WPA-Radius, or Certificate-based authentication), and is commonly installed along with a Network Interface Card's (NIC) or VPN [3] drivers.
The IEEE 802.1X standard [1] uses the term "supplicant" to refer to either hardware or software. In practice, a supplicant is a software application installed on an end-user's computer. The user invokes the supplicant and submits credentials to connect the computer to a secure network. If the authentication succeeds, the authenticator typically ...
A basic form of NAC is the 802.1X standard. Network access control aims to do exactly what the name implies—control access to a network with policies, including pre-admission endpoint security policy checks and post-admission controls over where users and devices can go on a network and what they can do.
The more general wpa_supplicant can be used for 802.11 wireless networks and wired networks. Both support a very wide range of EAP types. [11] The iPhone and iPod Touch support 802.1X since the release of iOS 2.0. Android has support for 802.1X since the release of 1.6 Donut. ChromeOS has supported 802.1X since mid-2011. [12]
Network Admission Control (NAC) refers to Cisco's version of network access control, which restricts access to the network based on identity or security posture.When a network device (switch, router, wireless access point, DHCP server, etc.) is configured for NAC, it can force user or machine authentication prior to granting access to the network.

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral link layer protocol used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on a local area network based on IEEE 802 technology, principally wired Ethernet. [1]
