NetBIOS
Network Basic Input
Output System. NetBIOS was
originally developed by IBM and Sytek
to interface a network operating
system with specific hardware.
Today, many vendors either provide a
version of NetBIOS to interface with
their hardware or emulate its session
layer communications in their
network products.
network server mode
A security
feature that prevents unauthorized
use of an input device (like a
keyboard or mouse) while your
computer is running as an unattended
network server.
NetWare
A series of network
operating systems and related
products developed and sold by
Novell, Inc.
network
A way of connecting
multiple computers to facilitate the
sharing of files and resources.
NIC
Network Interface Card. An
expansion card that can be inserted
into a computer so that the computer
can be part of a network. Most NICs
are designed for a particular type of
network, protocol, and medium,
although some can be used in multiple
network environments.
NLM
NetWare Loadable Module.
NLMs are applications and drivers
that run in the NetWare server that
can be loaded and unloaded on the fly.
node
In a network, a node can be a
computer or some other device such
as a printer.
ODI
Open Data-Link Interface. ODI
supports multiple protocols and
adapters and is Novell's network
device driver interface standard.
OSI Model
Open Systems
Interconnection Reference Model.
OSI is a network model developed by
the International Standards
Organization (ISO) which divides
network functions into seven
connected layers (physical, data link,
network, transport, session,
presentation, application). Each layer
builds on the services provided by
those below.
packet
A unit of information that is
transmitted over the network. A
packet consists of a preamble, a
destination address, a source address,
data being transmitted, and a code
(such as CRC) for testing correct
transmission of the packet.
PCI
Peripheral Connect Interface.
The PCI local bus is a high
performance, 32-bit or 64-bit bus with
multiplexed address and data lines. It
is intended for use as an interconnect
mechanism between highly
integrated peripheral controller
components, peripheral add-in
boards, and processor/memory
systems.
Peer-to-Peer Architecture
A
network architecture in which each
node on the network has equal
responsibility: that is, any station can
contribute resources to the network
while still running local application
programs.
