Fibre Channel
A switched
protocol that allows concurrent
communication among
workstations, supercomputers,
mainframes, data storage devices,
and other periperals. Fibre
Channel is capable of transmitting
at rates exceeding one gigabit per
second in both directions
simultaneously.
G
GBIC
An acronym for the Gigabit
Interface Converter.
Gigabit
One billion bits, or one
thousand megabits.
GLM
An acronym for the
Gigabaud Link Module.
H
HBA
Host Bus Adapter.
HIPPI
High-Performance Parallel
Interface.
I
IP
Internet Protocol.
L
Local Area Network (LAN)
A
communications system with
dimensions that are typically less
than 5 kilometers.
Transmissions
within a local area network are
mostly digital, carrying data
among stations at rates usually
above one megabit/sec.
M
MIA
An acronym for the Media
Interface Adapter plug-ins, which
allow you to go from copper to
optical or visa versa.
MIM
An acronym for the Media
Interface Module.
Multicast
Refers to delivering a
single transmission to multiple
destination N_ports.
Multimode Fibre
Method by
which multiple light waves can
travel through multiple paths with
wavelike movements down the
cable.
N
Native Interface
The
unconverted interface for a device.
