These acronyms are used to discuss LAN, internet, WAN, routing and switching protocols, and their applicable organizations. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The table contains only current, common, non-proprietary initialisms that are specific to information technology.
It makes it more convenient to refer to a machine by name than by its IP address. Network naming can be hierarchical in nature, such as the Internet's Domain Name System. Indeed, the Internet employs several universally applicable naming methods: uniform resource name (URN), uniform resource locator (URL), and uniform resource identifier (URI).
The taxonomy has been created and is being maintained by a joint effort of the Flamingo FP7 Project [1] and the Committee of Network Operations and Management (CNOM) of the Communications Society (COMSOC) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Working Group 6.6 of the International Federation of Information ...
This is a partial list of RFCs (request for comments memoranda). A Request for Comments (RFC) is a publication in a series from the principal technical development and standards-setting bodies for the Internet, most prominently the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
Yet Another Next Generation (YANG, /jæŋ/, which rhymes with "hang") [1] [2] [3] is a data modeling language for the definition of data sent over network management protocols such as the NETCONF [4] and RESTCONF. [5]
Each hostname usually has at least one numeric network address associated with it for routing packets for performance and other reasons. Internet hostnames may have appended the name of a Domain Name System [2] (DNS) domain, separated from the host-specific label by a period ("dot"). In the latter form, a hostname is also called a domain name.
In IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networking standards (including Wi‑Fi), a service set is a group of wireless network devices which share a service set identifier (SSID)—typically the natural language label that users see as a network name. (For example, all of the devices that together form and use a Wi‑Fi network called "Foo" are a ...
In computer systems, name resolution refers to the retrieval of the underlying numeric values corresponding to computer hostnames, account user names, group names, and other named entities. Computer operating systems commonly employ multiple key/value lists that associate easily remembered names with integer numbers used to identify users ...
