Master plans to support the development of advanced data communications
networks and the standards for those networks.
Network Interface Controller (NIC)
A hardware controller that acts as a physical connection between the end user's
workstation and the communications medium, facilitating the use of the
network software. NICs may be present in intelligent printers, like those from
Compaq, or in other computer devices (such as routers, bridges, and

synchronize their time with a reference time source. This time is usually
accurate within a few milliseconds.

has a unique IP address.
