- Asynchronous Transfer Mode [r]: A technology for the transfer of fixed-length "cells" of digital information through specialized cell switches built on top of optical transmission networks; increasingly obsolescent [e]
- Circuit switching [r]: Constituent electric circuit of a switching or digital processing system which receives, stores, or manipulates information in coded form to accomplish the specified objectives of the system. [e]
- Control plane [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Datagram [r]: A self-contained unit of data, containing a source and destination address analogous to a letter, which can be efficiently forwarded by routers [e]
- Flow (Internet Protocol) [r]: An association of a source Internet protocol address and one or more destinations, in a given direction of transmission [e]
- Intermediate System-Intermediate System [r]: An interior routing protocol capable of distributing address information from multiple address families; especially popular for large Internet Service Providers and homogeneous networks [e]
- Internet Engineering Task Force [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Internet Protocol Suite [r]: The real-world set of networking protocols, with administrative and operational conventions, which populate the real-world working Internet [e]
- Locality of networks [r]: The assumption, in networking technologies, about the characteristics of the user space they support, and, as importantly, the user spaces they should ignore [e]
- Nonbroadcast Multiaccess [r]: A technique, in computer networks, where a group of "spoke" devices all connect to a common "hub", but the spokes cannot broadcast or multicast to one another [e]
- Open Shortest Path First traffic engineering extensions [r]: A set of extensions to the OSPF version 2 (i.e., for Internet Protocol version 4) routing protocol, intended to provide information for route computation that is optimized for creating overlays of Multi-Protocol Label Switching and Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching paths [e]
- Packet switching [r]: Network communications method that groups all transmitted data, irrespective of content, type, or structure into suitably-sized blocks, called packets. [e]
- Resource Reservation Protocol [r]: An end-to-end control (i.e., signaling) protocol used to reserve bandwidth from one edge of an Internet Protocol network to the other edge [e]
- TELENET [r]: An early data communications network, operational in the 1970s but using a technology with substantial differences from the Internet. [e]
- Virtual private network [r]: A communications system that interconnects one or more customer-defined set of sites with routed, data link, or physical connectivity, mapped through an underlying customer-owned or provider-provisioned backbone. It may provided connectivity alone, or connectivity with guarantees of security and quality of service. [e]
- Voice over Internet Protocol [r]: A family of standards that permits carrying voice telephony over Internet Protocol networks that handle both voice and data, instead of dedicated telephony networks. [e]
