F
Flow Control
Enables lower speed Ethernet switch modules to communicate with higher speed Ethernet switch module s, that
is, that the higher speed Ethernet switch module refrains from sending packets.
Fragment
Ethernet packets smaller than 576 bits.
Frame
Packets containing the header and trailer information required by the physical medium.
G
Gigabit Ethernet
Gigabit Ethernet transmits at 1000 Mbps, and is compatible with existing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet standards.
H
HOL
Head of Line. Packets are queued. Packets at the head of the queue are forwarded before packets at the end of
the line.
Host
A computer that acts as a source of information or services to other computers.
HTTP
HyperText Transport Protocol. Transmits HTML documents between servers and clients on the internet.
I
ICMP
Internet Control Message Protocol. Allows gateway or destination host to communicate with a source host, for
example, to report a processing error.
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. An Engineering organization that develops communications
and networking standards.
IEEE 802.1p
Prioritizes network traffic at the data-link/MAC sublayer.
IEEE 802.1Q
Defines the operation of VLAN Bridges that permit the definition, operation, and administration of VLANs
within Bridged LAN infrastructures.
