Address space
A linear array of locations that a thread can access. Simple processors have only one, and these
processors
are referred to as `linear' addressing.
AutoIP
AutoIP is an alter
native to DHCP that allows hosts to automatically obtain an IP address in smaller
networks that ma
y not have a DHCP server. A range of IP addresses (from 169.254.0.1 to
169.254.255.254) has been explicitly reserved for AutoIP-enabled dev
ices. The range of AutoIP
addresses is not to be used over the Internet.
Auto-Negotiate:
Clause 28 of the IEEE 802.3u standard specifies a MAC sublayer for the identification of the speed
and duplex mode of connection being supported by a device. Support of this feature is optional for
individual vendors.
Auto-sense:
Ability of a 10/100 Ethernet device to interpret the speed or duplex mode of the attached device and
to
adjust to that rate. Official term is Auto-Negotiation in Clause 28 of the IEEE 802.3u standard.
AUI:
Attachment Unit Interface. A 15-pin shielded, twisted pair Ethernet cable used (optionally) to co
nnect
between network devices and a MAU.
Autobaud:
Automatic determi
nation and matching of transmission speed.
Backbone:
The main cable in a network.
Bandwidth on Demand:
Feature that allows a rem
ote access device to initiate a second connection to a particular site to increase
the amount of data transferred to that site to increase the desired threshold. The network manage
r
configuring the remote access server will specify a number of bits or a percentage of connection
bandwidth threshold
which will trigger the secondary connection. Multilink PPP is an emerging
standard to allow t
his feature to be interoperable, but right now the only way to ensure correct
operation is to use devices o
n both end from the same vendor.
