Using RADIUS, you must enter your user name and password before gaining access to a network. This information is passed to a RADIUS server, which checks that the information is correct, and then authorizes access. Though not an official standard, the RADIUS specification is maintained by a working group of the IETF. Real-Time Operating System RTOS is a component of the OSAPI module that abstracts operating systems with which other systems can interface. Resource Reservation Setup Protocol RSVP is a new Internet protocol being developed to enable the Internet to support specified Qualities-of-Service (QoS). Using RSVP, an application will be able to reserve resources along a route from source to destination. RSVP-enabled routers will then schedule and prioritize packets to meet the prioritization assigned by QoS. RSVP is a chief component of a new type of Internet being developed, known broadly as an integrated services Internet. The general idea is to enhance the Internet to support transmission of real-time data. RIP See "Routing Information Protocol" on page 17. router A device that forwards data between networks.

For RMON to work, network devices, such as hubs and switches, must be designed to support it. The newest version of RMON, RMON 2, provides data about traffic at the network layer in addition to the physical layer. This allows administrators to analyze traffic by protocol.
