Appendix RARP Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. A protocol that associates a network adapter address (MAC address) with an Internet Protocol (IP) address. Raster Raster graphics describes an image as a pattern of dots, compared to vector graphics which represents an image as a geometrical formula. Each row of color dots in the mosaic of color dots constitutes one raster graphic. In a printer, a raster graphic is used as the master image from which a page is printed, because the image can be transferred to paper by printing one raster at a time. Raw This is a print application used with Windows 2000/XP. It can print at higher speeds than LPD. 3 RIP (Raster Image Processor) The hardware and/or software functions of a printer that convert vector graphic descriptions from a computer into raster graphic images that can be printed. SMB Server Message Block. A protocol that provides file and printer sharing over a network for Windows computers. Source Routing Normally, a host has no control over the route taken by a packet it sends. Source routing is a technique whereby the sender of a packet can specify the route that a packet should take through the network to its destination. Spooling Simultaneous Peripheral Operations On-Line. Spooling means putting jobs in a buffer, which is a special area in memory or on a disk. Because devices access data at different rates, the buffer provides a waiting station where the data can wait until the device for which it is meant is ready to access it. Subnet Mask SUBNETwork mask. The method used to determine which subgroup, or subnet, an IP address belongs to on TCP/IP networks, all devices whose IP addresses have the same prefix would belong to the same subnet. Dividing a network into subnets is useful for both security and performance reasons. Glossary 3-9
