8BITMIME (RFC 1652) is an SMTP extension standardized in 1994 that facilitates the exchange of e-mail messages containing octets outside the seven-bit ASCII range. Prior to the availability of 8BITMIME implementations, mail user agents employed several techniques to cope with the seven-bit limitation, including binary to text encodings and UTF-7. However, each of these workarounds necessarily inflates the bandwidth of non-ASCII transmissions. ...more on Wikipedia about "8BITMIME"

In computer networking using the Internet Protocol suite, the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is the method for finding a host's MAC address when only its IP address is known. The sender broadcasts an ARP packet containing the Internet address of another host and waits for it to respond with its MAC address, which is then stored in a cache for later use. ...more on Wikipedia about "Address Resolution Protocol"

The ASCII ribbon campaign is an internet phenomenon started in 1998 advocating that the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol used for Internet e-mail not include binary information encoded within. ...more on Wikipedia about "ASCII ribbon"

Base 64 literally means a positional numbering system using a base of 64. It is the largest power of two base that can be represented using only printable ASCII characters. This has led to its use as a transfer encoding for email among other things. All well-known variants that are known by the name Base64 use the characters A–Z, a–z, and 0–9 in that order for the first 62 digits but the symbols chosen for the last two digits vary considerably between different systems. Several other encoding methods such as uuencode and later versions of binhex use a different set of 64 characters to represent 6 binary digits but these are never called by the name base64. ...more on Wikipedia about "Base64"

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is a network protocol used to detect faults between two forwarding engines. It provides low-overhead, low-latency detection of faults even on physical media that don't support failure detection of any kind, such as ethernet, virtual circuits, tunnels and MPLS LSPs. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bidirectional Forwarding Detection"

In computing, BOOTP, short for Bootstrap Protocol, is a UDP network protocol used by a network client to obtain its IP address automatically. It is usually done in booting process of computers or operating systems running on them. The BOOTP servers assign the IP-address from a pool of addresses to each client. It was originally defined in RFC 951. ...more on Wikipedia about "BOOTP"

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the core routing protocol of the Internet. It works by maintaining a table of IP networks or 'prefixes' which designate network reachability between autonomous systems (AS). It is described as a path vector protocol. BGP does not use technical metrics, but makes routing decisions based on network policies or rules. The current version of BGP, BGP version 4, is specified in request for comment RFC 4271 (as per Jan 2006). This RFC obsoletes RFC 1771. ...more on Wikipedia about "Border Gateway Protocol"

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR, pronounced "cider"), introduced starting in 1993, is the latest refinement to the way IP addresses are interpreted. It replaced the previous generation of IP address syntax, classful networks. It allowed increased flexibility when dividing ranges of IP addresses into separate networks. It thereby promoted: ...more on Wikipedia about "Classless Inter-Domain Routing"

In telecommunications, connection-oriented describes a means of transmitting data in which the devices at the end points use a preliminary protocol to establish an end-to-end connection before any data is sent. Connection-oriented protocol service is sometimes called a "reliable" network service, because it guarantees that data will arrive in the proper sequence. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a connection-oriented protocol. ...more on Wikipedia about "Connection-oriented protocol"

In telecommunications, connectionless describes communication between two network end points in which a message can be sent from one end point to another without prior arrangement. The device at one end of the communication transmits data to the other, without first ensuring that the recipient is available and ready to receive the data. The device sending a message simply sends it addressed to the intended recipient. If there are problems with the transmission, it may be necessary to resend the data several times. The Internet Protocol (IP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) are connectionless protocols. ...more on Wikipedia about "Connectionless protocol"

The "Default-free zone" refers simultaneously to both the collection of all Internet networks who do not use a default route and therefore have "full" BGP tables and the "full BGP tables" themselves. ...more on Wikipedia about "Default-free zone"

Diameter is an AAA (authentication, authorization and accounting) protocol for applications such as network access or IP mobility. The basic concept is to provide a base protocol that can be extended in order to provide AAA services to new access technologies. Diameter is intended to work in both local and roaming AAA situations. ...more on Wikipedia about "DIAMETER"

DNSSEC (short for DNS Security Extensions) adds security to the Domain Name System (DNS) used on Internet Protocol networks. It is a set of extensions to DNS, which provide: ...more on Wikipedia about "DNSSEC"

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a system that stores information associated with domain names in a distributed database on networks, such as the Internet. The domain name system associates many types of information with domain names, but most importantly, it provides the IP address associated with the domain name. It also lists mail exchange servers accepting e-mail for each domain. In providing a worldwide keyword-based redirection service, DNS is an essential component of contemporary Internet use. ...more on Wikipedia about "Domain Name System" www.shortopedia.com never sleeps.

In the context of computer networking, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv6) is a client-server networking protocol. A DHCP server provides configuration parameters specific to the DHCP client host requesting, generally, information required by the client host to participate on an IP network. DHCP also provides a mechanism for allocation of IP addresses to client hosts. ...more on Wikipedia about "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol"

EForward uses one port, 2181, in either TCP or UDP mode to transfer files between a client and the server. The major objective of the protocol is to provide a known level of service: The documents sent from one client to another should never be in an unknown state, at any time. This is done by having the server keep track of the state of all the messages, and having it be the definitive status keeper. ...more on Wikipedia about "EForward"

ETRN (Extended Turn) is an extension to the SMTP e-mail protocol. ETRN is defined in RFC 1985. It enables a mail server to request a second mail server to forward it outstanding mail messages. The second mail server should initiate a new SMTP connection back to the first server. Some level of security is provided by DNS-based authentication of the initiating server. The ETRN operation is useful for intermittently connected mail servers. See also ODMR. ...more on Wikipedia about "ETRN"

The Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) is a flexible protocol designed for allocating objects within registries over the Internet. ...more on Wikipedia about "Extensible Provisioning Protocol"

The Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) is a routing protocol for the Internet originally specified in 1982 by Eric C. Rosen of Bolt, Beranek and Newman, and David L. Mills. It was first described in RFC 827 and formally specified in RFC 904 ( 1984). EGP is a type of path vector protocol. ...more on Wikipedia about "Exterior Gateway Protocol"

eXternal Data Representation (XDR) is an implementation of the presentation layer in the OSI model. XDR allows data to be wrapped in an architecture independent manner so data can be transferred between heterogenous computer systems. Converting from the local representation to XDR is called encoding. Converting from XDR to the local representation is called decoding. XDR is implemented as a software library of functions that is portable between different operating systems and is also independent of the transport layer. ONC RPC uses XDR. ...more on Wikipedia about "External Data Representation"

FAST TCP is an abbreviation for Fast Active queue management Scalable Transmission Control Protocol, a protocol designed as a faster successor to TCP, that would enable users to download large files quickly, or access TV in almost real time on a sufficiently fast link. ...more on Wikipedia about "FAST TCP"
