- Electromagnetic spectrum [r]: The range of electromagnetic waves covering all frequencies and wavelengths. [e]
- End-to-end protocols [r]: Protocols for the transfer of data from a source to one or more network endpoints. [e]
- Fault tolerance [r]: A characteristic of a system such that it can have one or more subcomponents fail, yet have the system continue to operate with at least partial functionality [e]
- Frame relay [r]: A layer 2 digital data transmission system, used for low to medium speed permanent connection in the wide area, and beginning to be replaced by MPLS [e]
- HTTP [r]: Network protocol on which the World Wide Web is based. [e]
- IEEE Project 802 [r]: The main standards body, with many working groups, that specifies technical standards for wired and wireless local area networks, with ranges up to tens of kilometers [e]
- Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers [r]: The top-level international organization that directs the assignment of Domain Name System (DNS) names, Internet Protocol addresses, and other technical identifiers that must be unique for the proper operation of the Internet [e]
- Internet Protocol Suite [r]: The real-world set of networking protocols, with administrative and operational conventions, which populate the real-world working Internet [e]
- Internet Protocol version 4 [r]: The main internetwork (also called hop-by-hop or network layer) protocol of the existing Internet and products compatible with the Internet Protocol Suite, to be replaced by Internet Protocol version 6 [e]
- Internet Protocol version 6 address management [r]: Those operational best practices that go into obtaining Internet Protocol version 6 address space and developing an address assignment plan [e]
- Internet Protocol version 6 deployment [r]: As opposed to the protocol mechanisms or addressing conventions, these are the operational matters that arise in deploying IPv6, including interoperability among implementations, support tools, and coexistence techniques [e]
- Internet Protocol version 6 laboratory [r]: An example of a testing and learning facility for familiarization with Internet Protocol version 6 [e]
- Internet Protocol version 6 [r]: The next-generation Internet Protocol, providing (among other benefits) a vastly increased address space (128bits), which should in turn provide the ability for an end-to-end Internet and allowing new models of communication to be developed. [e]
- Internet Protocol [r]: A protocol that is used to transmit data across an Internet Protocol Suite-compatible network, "hop-by-hop" from the source host, through intermediate routers, to the destination host [e]
- Internet [r]: International "network of networks" that connects computers together through the Internet Protocol Suite and supports applications like Email and the World Wide Web. [e]
- Intranet [r]: A set of networked computers, under one administration, which can only communicate with one another. [e]
- Joint Tactical Information Distribution System [r]: The primary communications system used for sharing tactical information internally, and among NATO, Australia, and other U.S. allies [e]
- Local area network [r]: A range of techniques for interconnecting multiple computers, over physical media such as wire or over wireless radio, within a limited geographic area, typically multiples of 100 meters. [e]
- MAC (disambiguation) [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Medium access control [r]: The set of protocols and administrative conventions that let multiple computers or communications devices share a common network medium, usually referring to a local area network medium, but also an area of radio communications on a given part of the electromagnetic spectrum [e]
- Messaging application protocols [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Multicasting [r]: In networking, the transmission of a piece of information such that its destination address is recognized by multiple targets of a multicast group. Broadcasting is a special case of the multicast group, when the group contains all addresses. [e]
- Multihoming [r]: A wide range of techniques for providing multiple communications paths among logical or physical points in computer networks, primarily for fault tolerance but also for load distribution or traffic engineering [e]
- North American Network Operators' Group [r]: A cooperative forum of Internet Service Provider and other North American parties involved in the detailed engineering practices required to make the Internet operate reliably, predictably, and efficiently [e]
- PPP (disambiguation) [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Peer-to-peer [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Physical layer protocol [r]: A mechanical, and electrical or optical, specification that defines the connection between a computer and the transmission medium, aspects or all details of the transmission medium, or both [e]
- Point-to-Point Protocol [r]: A very flexible protocol for running data over a wide range of media, which use a logical point-to-point topology [e]
- Routing protocol [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Secure Sockets Layer [r]: Add brief definition or description

- Server (computer) [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Server (disambiguation) [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Simple Network Management Protocol [r]: The protocol used, in the Internet Protocol Suite, to read and write management information into managed objects, and to accept asynchronous traps (i.e., alarms) from them; SNMP does not prescribe the format of managed information, that being the role of Management Information Base specifications [e]
