Brief Information about Technologies and Abbreviations

Web Technologies

Java

3
An object-oriented programming language that is platform independent (the same Java
program runs on all hardware platforms without modification). Developed by Sun, Java is
widely used on the Web for both client and server processing. Modeled after C++, Java added
programming enhancements such as "garbage collection," which automatically frees unused
memory. It was also designed to run in small amounts of memory. The first Web browsers to
run Java were Sun's HotJava and Netscape Navigator 2.0.

EJB

(​E​nterprise ​J​ava ​B​eans) A software component in Sun's J2EE platform, which provides a pure
Java environment for developing and running distributed applications. EJBs are written as
software modules that contain the business logic of the application. They reside in and are
executed in a runtime engine called an "EJB Container," which provides a host of common
interfaces and services to the EJB, including security and transaction support. At the wire
level, EJBs look like CORBA components.

RMI

(R​emote ​M​ethod ​I​nvocation) A standard from Sun for distributed objects written in Java. RMI
is a remote procedure call (RPC), which allows Java objects (software components) stored in
the network to be run remotely. Unlike CORBA and DCOM objects, which can be developed
in different languages, RMI is designed for objects written only in Java.

SWING

A Java toolkit for developing graphical user interfaces (GUIs). It includes elements such as
menus, toolbars and dialog boxes. Swing is written in Java and is thus platform independent,
unlike the Java Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT), which provides platform-specific code.
Swing also has more sophisticated interface capabilities than AWT and offers such features as
tabbed panes and the ability to change images on buttons. Swing is included in the Java
Foundation Classes (JFC) which are provided in the Java Developers Toolkit (JDK).

CORBA

(C​ommon ​O​bject ​R​equest ​B​roker A

​ ​rchitecture) A software-based interface from the Object
Management Group (OMG) that allows software modules (objects) to communicate with each
other no matter where they are located on a private network or the global Internet. CORBA is
a "distributed objects" system designed for multi-tier, client/server applications, where
processing data in one computer requires additional processing by some other service in
another computer in order to complete the transaction. CORBA is also described as an "object
bus" or "software bus."

4
 SERVELETS

A Java application that runs in a Web server or application server and provides server-side
processing such as accessing a database and e-commerce transactions. Widely used for Web
processing, servlets are designed to handle HTTP requests (get, post, etc.) and are the standard
Java replacement for a variety of other methods, including CGI scripts, Active Server Pages
(ASPs) and proprietary C/C++ plug-ins for specific Web servers (ISAPI, NSAPI).

JSP

(​J​ava​S​erver ​P​age) An extension to the Java servlet technology from Sun that allows HTML to
be combined with Java on the same page. The Java provides the processing, and the HTML
provides the page layout that will be rendered in the Web browser

JDBC

(J​ava ​D​ata​B​ase ​C​onnectivity) A programming interface that lets Java applications access a
database via the SQL language. Since Java interpreters (Java Virtual Machines) are available
for all major client platforms, this allows a platform-independent database application to be
written. In 1996, JDBC was the first extension to the Java platform.

STRUTS

A framework for writing Web-based applications in Java that supports the

Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. Struts is deployed as JSP pages using special tags
from the Struts tag library, which includes routines for building forms, HTML rendering,
storing and retrieving data and business logic

WEB LOGIC

A software suite from BEA Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA (www.beasys.com) that is used to
deploy Web and SOA applications. The core product is BEA WebLogic Server, a J2EE
application server. BEA WebLogic Portal is an an enterprise portal that offers advanced
searching, and BEA WebLogic Integration provides tools for transforming and routing data
from multiple sources. BEA WebLogic Enterprise is the integrated development environment
(IDE) for the WebLogic family
HTML

H​yper​T​ext ​M​arkup ​La​ nguage) The document format used on the Web. Web pages are built
with HTML tags (codes) embedded in the text. HTML defines the page layout, fonts and
graphic elements as well as the hypertext links to other documents on the Web. Each link
contains the URL, or address, of a Web page residing on the same server or any server
worldwide, hence "World Wide" Web.
5
 XML

(E​X​tensible ​M​arkup ​L​anguage) An open standard for describing data from the W3C. It is used
for defining data elements on a Web page and business-to-business documents. XML uses a
similar tag structure as HTML; however, whereas HTML defines how elements are displayed,
XML defines what those elements contain. While HTML uses predefined tags, XML allows
tags to be defined by the developer of the page. Thus, virtually any data items, such as
"product," "sales rep" and "amount due," can be identified, allowing Web pages to function
like database records. By providing a common method for identifying data, XML supports
business-to-business transactions and has become "the" format for electronic data interchange
and Web services

J2EE

(​J​ava ​2​ Platform, ​E​nterprise ​E​dition) A platform from Sun for building distributed enterprise
applications. J2EE services are performed in the middle tier between the user's machine and
the enterprise's databases and legacy information systems. J2EE comprises a specification,
reference implementation and set of testing suites. Its core component is Enterprise JavaBeans
(EJBs), followed by JavaServer Pages (JSPs) and Java servlets and a variety of interfaces for
linking to the information resources in the enterprise.

J2ME

(J​ava ​2​ Platform, ​M​icro ​E​dition) A version of Java 2 for cellphones, PDAs and consumer
appliances. J2ME uses the K Virtual Machine (KVM), a specialized Java interpreter for
devices with limited memory. The Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) provides
the programming interface for wireless applications. The Mobile Information Device Profile
(MIDP) provides support for a graphical interface, networking and storage.

DOT NET

(.NET) A comprehensive software development platform from Microsoft that was introduced
in 2000 as the company's next generation programming environment. Pronounced "dot-​net​,"
and widely known as the ".NET Framework," it was designed to compete with the Java J2EE
platform

LDAP

L​ightweight ​D​irectory ​A​ccess ​P​rotocol) A protocol used to access a directory listing. LDAP
support is being implemented in Web browsers and e-mail programs, which can query an
LDAP-compliant directory. It is expected that LDAP will provide a common method for

6
searching e-mail addresses on the Internet, eventually leading to a global white pages. LDAP
is a sibling protocol to HTTP and FTP and uses the ldap:// prefix in its URL.
JVM

A Java interpreter. The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is software that converts the Java
intermediate language (bytecode) into machine language and executes it. The original JVM
came from the JavaSoft division of Sun. Subsequently, other vendors developed their own; for
example, the Microsoft Virtual Machine is Microsoft's Java interpreter. A JVM is incorporated
into a Web browser in order to execute Java applets. A JVM is also installed in a Web server
to execute server-side Java programs. A JVM can also be installed in a client machine to run
stand-alone Java applications

PJAVA

A version of Java from Sun intended for PDAs and other handheld devices. EmbeddedJava
(EJava) is a counterpart set of technologies that provide support for character-based displays or
devices without displays rather than graphical interfaces. PersonalJava (PJava) is intended for
open systems that require Web browsing, and PJava includes applet support. EJava is intended
for closed systems that have severe restrictions on memory.

XSL

(e​X​tensible ​S​tylesheet ​L​anguage) A standard from the W3C for describing a style sheet for
XML documents. It is the XML counterpart to the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) in HTML
and is compatible with CSS2. XSL is made up of three components: (1) XSL Transformations
(XSLT) is the processing language for XSL. It is used to convert XML documents into HTML
or other document types and may be used independently of XSL. (2) XML Path Language
(Xpath) is used to identify and select tagged elements within an XML document, and (3) XSL
Formatting Objects (XSL FO) provides the format vocabulary

XSLT

(e​X​tensible ​S​tylesheet ​L​anguage ​Tr​ ansformation) Software that converts an XML document
into another format such as HTML, PDF or text. It may also be used to convert one XML
document to another XML document with a different set of XML tags (different schema).

VB.NET

(​V​isual ​B​asic ​.NET​) An object-oriented programming language from Microsoft. It is the .NET
version of the Visual Basic (VB) programming language. Like all .NET languages, VB.NET
uses the Common Language Runtime (CLR) for program execution. VB.NET is substantially
7
different from traditional Visual Basic, which has been the most popular language for
developing Windows applications

ASP

A​pplication ​S​ervice ​P​rovider) An organization that hosts software applications on its own
servers within its own facilities. Customers rent the use of the application and access it over
the Internet or via a private line connection. Also called a "commercial service provider." The
Web browser, acting as a universal client interface, has fueled this "on-demand software"
market.

ASP.NET

ASP.NET, also known as ASP+, is an enhanced version of ASP for the .NET platform. It
supports executable programs compiled from C#, C++ and other languages and is not
backward compatible with regular ASP code. ASP.NET pages are always compiled rather than
interpreted as are ASP pages

C#

(C Sharp) An object-oriented programming language from Microsoft and ECMA that is based
on C++ with elements from Visual Basic and Java. Like Java, C# provides automatic garbage
collection, whereas traditional C and C++ do not. C# was created by Microsoft and also
standardized by the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA). Microsoft
designed C# as its flagship programming language for the .NET environment

ADO

(A​ctiveX ​D​ata ​O​bjects) A programming interface from Microsoft that is designed as "the"
Microsoft standard for data access. First used with Internet Information Server, ADO is a set
of COM objects that provides an interface to OLE DB. The three primary objects are
Connection, Command and Recordset. The Connection object establishes a connection with a
particular database management system (DBMS) or other data source. It can also send a query
to the database. The Command object is an alternate way of sending a query to the database,
and the Recordset object contains the resulting answer, which is a group of records

ADO.NET

ADO.NET is the .NET version of ADO, which is substantially different from ADO. It
supports XML documents and relies on .NET Data Providers as an interface layer between the
application and the databases.

 TESTING

WINRUNNER

Comprehensive automated application testing software for Windows from Mercury Interactive
Corporation, Mountain View, CA (www.mercury.com/us). It lets users compare expected and
actual outcomes and provides wizards for automatically setting up tests. WinRunner also
records user interactions and turns them into a script.

LOADRUNNER

A load testing tool from Mercury Interactive Corporation, Mountain View, CA

(www.merc-int.com). It simulates thousands of users interacting online in order to test how
well a system stands up under a heavy load.

SYSTEMS SOFTWARE

C++

An object-oriented version of C that has been widely used to develop enterprise and
commercial applications. Created by Bjarne Stroustrup, C++ became popular because it
combined traditional C programming with object-oriented programming (OOP) features.
Smalltalk and other OOP languages did not provide the familiar structures of conventional
languages such as C and Pascal. Microsoft's Visual C++ is the most widely used C++ language

UNIX

A multiuser, multitasking operating system that is widely used as the master control program
in workstations and servers. The Open Group holds the trademark for the UNIX name (spelled
in upper case) on behalf of the industry and provides compliance certification to the UNIX
standard

LINUX

Linux is the most popular open source operating system. Its source code is available free of
charge; however, for a fee, Linux is distributed with technical support and training from
commercial vendors such as Red Hat Software (www.redhat.com) and Novell
(www.novell.com). A Linux "distribution" is available as a download or on CD or DVD

9
media, which may comprise from a handful to several hundred applications, tools and utilities.
Source code for the Linux kernel as well as the auxiliary programs may also be included

DSP

D​igital ​S​ignal ​P​rocessing A category of techniques that analyze signals from sources such as
sound, weather satellites and earthquake monitors. Signals are converted into digital data and
analyzed using various algorithms such as Fast Fourier Transform.

(​D​igital ​S​ignal ​P​rocessor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing
applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift
and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive signal processing.
DSP chips are widely used in a myriad of devices, including cellphones, sound cards, fax
machines, modems, hard disks and digital TVs. The first DSP chip used in a commercial
product was believed to be in the very popular Speak & Spell game, introduced by TI in the
late 1970s

CLIENT SERVER

DCOM

D​istributed ​C​omponent ​O​bject ​M​odel Formerly Network OLE, it is Microsoft's technology

for distributed objects. DCOM is based on COM, Microsoft's component software
architecture, which defines the object interfaces. DCOM defines the remote procedure call that
allows those objects to be run remotely over the network. DCOM began shipping with
Windows NT 4.0 and is Microsoft's counterpart to CORBA.

DBMS

(​D​ata​B​ase ​M​anagement ​S​ystem) Software that controls the organization, storage, retrieval,
security and integrity of data in a database. It accepts requests from the application and
instructs the operating system to transfer the appropriate data. The major DBMS vendors are
Oracle, IBM, Microsoft and Sybase. MySQL is a very popular open source product

ORACLE

(Oracle Corporation, Redwood Shores, CA, www.oracle.com) The world's largest database
and application software vendor founded in 1977 by Larry Ellison. The Oracle database was
the ​first​ DBMS to incorporate the SQL language and to be ported to a wide variety of
platforms. Oracle also offers a variety of development tools.

10
In the mid-1990s, Oracle was a major promoter of the network computer, forming subsidiary
Network Computer, Inc. to define the specifications for the platform. After the turn of the
century, the company greatly enhanced its application offerings by acquiring PeopleSoft in
2004 and Siebel Systems in 2005

SQL

S​tructured ​Q​uery ​L​anguage Pronounced "S-Q-L" or "​see​-quill," a language used to interrogate

and process data in a relational database. Originally developed by IBM for its mainframes, all
database systems designed for client/server environments support SQL. SQL commands can
be used to interactively work with a database or can be embedded within a programming
language to interface to a database. Programming extensions to SQL have turned it into a
full-blown database programming language, and all major database management systems
(DBMSs) support the language.

SYBASE

Sybase Inc., Dublin, CA, www.sybase.com) A software company founded in 1984 that
specializes in enterprise infrastructure and integration of platforms, databases and applications.
It was originally known for its SQL Server relational DBMS, but expanded its line in 1995
when it acquired Powersoft, makers of the PowerBuilder application development software.
Sybase product families include databases, development tools, integration middleware,
enterprise portals and mobile and wireless servers.

EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

RTOS

(​R​eal​T​ime ​O​perating ​S​ystem) An operating system designed for use in a realtime computer
system
(RTOs) (​R​eal​T​ime ​O​perations) Procedures within an organization that enable information to
be distributed to all parties in realtime. It implies that day-to-day activities are integrated with
existing information systems so that vital up-to-date information is always available to
management, employees and the public as required.

Vx WORKS

A popular realtime operating system for embedded systems from Wind River, Alameda, CA
(www.windriver.com). It is used to control a wide variety of products, including network and
11
telecom devices, test and measurement equipment, computer peripherals and consumer
products. It is also used in the automotive and aerospace industries for engine control and
avionics. Available for a large number of CPU types, applications are created in Wind River's
Tornado development environment.

FIRMWARE

A category of memory chips that hold their content without electrical power. Firmware
includes flash, ROM, PROM, EPROM and EEPROM technologies. When holding program
instructions, firmware can be thought of as "hard software."

BIOS

B​asic ​I​nput ​O​utput ​S​ystem An essential set of routines stored in a chip that provides an
interface between the operating system and the hardware in a PC. The BIOS supports all
peripheral technologies including drives as well as internal services such as the realtime clock
(time and date). BIOS settings are maintained in a tiny battery-backed memory

QNX

A multiuser, multitasking, realtime operating system for PCs from QNX Software Systems,
Ltd., Ottawa, Ontario (www.qnx.com), that is noted for its low-memory requirement and rapid
response. Similar to Unix, it has been in use since the early 1980s

MPEG

M​oving ​P​ictures ​E​xperts ​Gr​ oup An ISO/ITU standard for compressing digital video.
Pronounced "​em​-peg," it is the universal standard for digital terrestrial, cable and satellite TV,
DVDs and digital video recorders (DVRs).

MPEG uses lossy compression within each frame similar to JPEG, which means pixels from
the original images are permanently discarded. It also uses interframe coding, which further
compresses the data by encoding only the differences between periodic frames. MPEG
performs the actual compression using the discrete cosine transform (DCT) method.

MPEG is an asymmetrical system. It takes longer to compress the video than it does to
decompress it in the DVD player, PC, set-top box or digital TV set. As a result, in the early

12
days, compression was perfomed only in the studio. As chips advanced and became less
costly, they enabled digital video recorders, such as Tivos, to convert analog TV to MPEG and
record it on disk in realtime.

JPEG

(​J​oint ​P​hotographic ​E​xperts G

​ ​roup) An ISO/ITU standard for compressing still images.
Pronounced "​jay​-peg," the JPEG format is very popular due to its variable compression range.
JPEGs are saved on a sliding resolution scale based on the quality desired. For example, an
image can be saved in high quality for photo printing, in medium quality for the Web and in
low quality for attaching to e-mails, the latter providing the smallest file size for fastest
transmission over dial-up connections.

SET TOP BOX (STB)

The cable TV box that "sits on top" of the TV set. It descrambles the premium channels and
provides a tuner for the higher cable numbers that very old TVs did not support. Originally
only analog, digital set-top boxes have become widely used for digital services that offer an
on-screen program guide. Digital set-top boxes that provide high-definition TV (HDTV) are
the latest version.

With satellite TV, a device similar to the set-top box decodes signals for viewing. However,
although some call it a "satellite set-top box," it is officially known as a "satellite TV receiver."

DVB

(​D​igital ​V​ideo ​B​roadcasting) An international digital television (DTV) standard that is the
European and Far Eastern counterpart of the North American ATSC standard. Administered
by the DVB Project within the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI),
DVB uses MPEG-2 for video compression and MPEG-2 and Dolby Digital for audio.

MICROPROCESSORS

A central processing unit (CPU) contained within a single chip. Today, all computer CPUs are
microprocessors. The term originated in the 1970s when CPUs up until that time were all
comprised of several chips. Thus, when the entire CPU (processor) was miniaturized onto a
single chip, the term "micro" processor was coined. Since the turn of the century, the

13
semiconductor manufacturing process has become so sophisticated that not only one, but two
or more CPUs, are built on a single chip

MICROCONTROLLER

A single chip that contains the processor (the CPU), non-volatile memory for the program
(ROM or flash), volatile memory for input and output (RAM), a clock and an I/O control unit.
Also called a "computer on a chip," billions of microcontroller units (MCUs) are embedded
each year in a myriad of products from toys to appliances to automobiles. For example, a
single vehicle can use 70 or more microcontrollers.

Microcontrollers come in all sizes and architectures, with the smaller, commodity chips
costing as little as 50 cents in quantities of 10,000.

MAINFRAMES

AS/400

(​A​pplication ​S​ystem/400) The earlier generation and original name of IBM's iSeries and i5
families of midrange business computers. Introduced in 1988, the AS/400 evolved into the
iSeries in 2000 and the i5 in 2004. When first introduced, the AS/400 was considered a
"minicomputer."

OS/400

The operating system for the iSeries family of midrange computers from IBM. Introduced in
1988 for the AS/400 (renamed iSeries in 2000), the OS/400 communicates with the hardware
through the Licensed Internal Code (LIC) layer, which includes the device drivers. In 2004,
OS/400 was renamed i5/OS to coincide with the eServer i5 models introduced in that same
year

COBOL

(​CO​mmon ​B​usiness ​O​riented ​L​anguage) A high-level programming language that has been
the primary business application language on mainframes and minis. It is a compiled language
and was one of the first high-level languages developed. Officially adopted in 1960, COBOL
stemmed from FLOWMATIC, a language developed in the mid-1950s by Grace Murray
Hopper (later Rear Admiral Hopper) for the UNIVAC I.

COBOL is a very wordy language. Although mathematical expressions can also be written like
other programming languages (see example below), its verbose mode is very readable for a

14
novice. For example, ​multiply hourly-rate by hours-worked giving gross-pay​ is self
explanatory

CICS

(​C​ustomer ​I​nformation ​C​ontrol S

​ ​ystem) A TP monitor from IBM that was originally
developed to provide transaction processing for IBM mainframes. It controls the interaction
between applications and users and lets programmers develop screen displays without detailed
knowledge of the terminals used. It provides terminal routing, password security, transaction
logging for error recovery and activity journals for performance analysis.

CICS has also been made available on non-mainframe platforms including the RS/6000,
AS/400 and OS/2-based PCs.

CICS commands are written along with and into the source code of the applications, typically
COBOL, although assembly language, PL/I and RPG are also used. CICS implements SNA
layers 4, 5 and 6.

MVS

(​M​ultiple ​V​irtual ​S​torage) Introduced in 1974, the primary operating system used with IBM
mainframes (the others are VM and DOS/VSE). MVS is a batch processing-oriented operating
system that manages large amounts of memory and disk space. Online operations are provided
with CICS, TSO and other system software.

DB2

(​D​ATA​B​ASE 2) A relational DBMS from IBM that was originally developed for its
mainframes. It is a full-featured SQL language DBMS that has become IBM's major database
product. Known for its industrial strength reliability, IBM has made DB/2 available for all of
its own platforms, including OS/2, OS/400, AIX (RS/6000) and OS/390, as well as for Solaris
on Sun systems and HP-UX on HP 9000 workstations and servers

IMS

I​nformation ​M​anagement ​S​ystem) An early IBM hierarchical DBMS for IBM mainframes.
IMS was widely implemented throughout the 1970s under MVS and continues to be used
under z/OS. IMS/DB (IMS/DataBase) is the back end database part, and either IMS/TM
(IMS/Transaction Manager) or CICS provides the front end online interaction.

IMS/TM, formerly IMS/DC (IMS/Data Communications), runs each transaction in its own
address space and allows for more precise tuning than CICS, which runs all transactions in a

15
region. IMS/TM is also used to access DB2 databases, and Java applications can access IMS
databases

WINDOWS NT

(Windows ​N​ew ​T​echnology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs.
NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see ​Windows​). Available in
separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive
multitasking. Windows NT was introduced in 1993 as Version 3.1 with the same user interface
as Windows 3.1. In 1996, Version 4.0 switched to the Windows 95 desktop and changed some
of the dialogs

TCP/IP

(​T​ransmission ​C​ontrol ​P​rotocol/​I​nternet ​P​rotocol) A communications protocol developed

under contract from the U.S. Department of Defense to internetwork dissimilar systems.
Invented by Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn, this de facto Unix standard is the protocol of the
Internet and the global standard for communications.

SNMP

(​S​imple ​N​etwork ​M​anagement ​P​rotocol) A widely used network monitoring and control
protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes
reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc.) to the workstation console
used to oversee the network. The agents return information contained in a MIB (Management
Information Base), which is a data structure that defines what is obtainable from the device
and what can be controlled (turned off, on, etc.). Originating in the Unix community, SNMP
has become widely used on all major platforms.

NMS

Also known as ​NMS​, it is an SNMP-based network management software from Novell for
monitoring and controlling NetWare networks. NMS was superseded by ManageWise.

LAN

16
(​L​ocal ​A​rea ​N​etwork) A communications network that serves users within a confined
geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows,
although Mac and Linux clients are also used. The "servers" hold programs and data that are
shared by the clients. Servers come in a wide range of sizes from Intel-based servers to
mainframes. Printers can also be connected to the network and shared

WAN

(​W​ide ​A​rea ​N​etwork) A long-distance communications network that covers a wide geographic
area, such as a state or country. The telephone companies deploy WANs to service large
regional areas or the entire nation. Large enterprises have their own private WANs to link
remote offices, or they use the Internet for connectivity. The Internet, of course, is the world's
largest WAN.
FRAME RELAY

Frame Relay is a protocol standard for LAN internetworking which provides a fast and
efficient method of transmitting information from a user device to LAN bridges and routers

ATM

A​synchronous ​T​ransfer ​M​ode) A network technology for both local and wide area networks
(LANs and WANs) that supports realtime voice and video as well as data. The topology uses
switches that establish a logical circuit from end to end, which guarantees quality of service
(QoS). However, unlike telephone switches that dedicate circuits end to end, unused
bandwidth in ATM's logical circuits can be appropriated when needed. For example, idle
bandwidth in a videoconference circuit can be used to transfer data.

ATM is widely used as a backbone technology in carrier networks and large enterprises, but
never became popular as a local network (LAN) topology (see below). ATM is highly scalable
and supports transmission speeds of 1.5, 25, 100, 155, 622, 2488 and 9953 Mbps. ATM is also
running as slow as 9.6 Kbps between ships at sea. An ATM switch can be added into the
middle of a switch fabric to enhance total capacity, and the new switch is automatically
updated using ATM's PNNI routing protocol.

MPLS

(​M​ulti​P​rotocol ​L​abel ​S​witching) A standard from the IETF for including routing information
in the packets of an IP network. MPLS is used to ensure that all packets in a particular flow
take the same route over a backbone. Deployed by many telcos and service providers, MPLS
can deliver the quality of service (QoS) required to support realtime voice and video as well as
service level agreements (SLAs) that guarantee bandwidth. Large enterprises may also use
17
MPLS in their national networks.

Similar to Cisco's tag switching, an MPLS router attaches labels (tags) containing forwarding
information to outgoing IP packets. These "label edge routers" (LERs) sit at the edge of the
network and perform the complex packet analysis and classification before the packet enters
the core of the network. The routers within the core, known as "label switch routers" (LSRs),
quickly examine the label and forward the packet per its directions without having to look up
data in tables and compute the forwarding path each time. The edge routers at the receiving
end remove the labels.

ISDN

(​I​ntegrated ​S​ervices ​D​igital ​Ne​ twork) An international standard for switched, digital dial-up
telephone service for voice and data. Analog telephones and fax machines are used over ISDN
lines, but their signals are converted into digital by the ISDN terminal adapter (see below).

Although announced in the early 1980s, it took more than a decade before ISDN became
widely available. It enjoyed a surge of growth in the early days of the Internet, because it
provided the only higher-speed alternative to analog modems in many areas. Still working in
many behind-the-scenes applications, ISDN is rarely used for Internet access.

BGP

B​order ​G​ateway ​P​rotocol A routing protocol that is used to span autonomous systems on the
Internet. It is a robust, sophisticated and scalable protocol that was developed by the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF). BGP4 supports the CIDR addressing scheme, which has
increased the number of available IP addresses on the Internet. BGP was designed to supersede
EGP, the original exterior gateway protocol. It is also known as a path vector protocol

RTP

(​R​apid ​T​ransport ​P​rotocol) The protocol used in IBM's High Performance Routing (HPR)
system.

(​ ​R​ealtime ​T​ransport ​P​rotocol) An IP protocol that supports realtime transmission of voice and
video. It is widely used for IP telephony and audio and video streaming. An RTP packet rides
on top of UDP, the non-reliable counterpart of TCP, and includes timestamping and
synchronization information in its header for proper reassembly at the receiving end. Secure
RTP (SRTP) is a version of RTP that provides confidentiality and message authentication.

RTCP

18
Real-time Control Protocol
RTCP is a companion protocol to RTP that is used to maintain QoS. RTP nodes analyze
network conditions and periodically send each other RTCP packets that report on network
congestion.

RTSP

Realtime Streaming Protocol

RTSP is used to control an RTP session at the application layer. It enables functions such as
pause, rewind and fast forward to be provided in the user's client software.

RIP
R​outing ​I​nformation ​P​rotocol)​ ​A simple routing protocol that is part of the TCP/IP protocol
suite. It determines a route based on the smallest hop count between source and destination.
RIP is a distance vector protocol that routinely broadcasts routing information to its
neighboring routers and is known to waste bandwidth. It also has a limit of 15 hops. If a route
is advertised as having 16 hops, it is flagged as unreachable. AppleTalk, DECnet, TCP/IP,
NetWare and VINES all use incompatible versions of RIP.

IPv6

(​I​nternet ​P​rotocol ​V​ersion ​6​) The next generation IP protocol. Started in 1991, the
specification was completed in 1997 by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). IPv6 is
backward compatible with and is designed to fix the shortcomings of IPv4, such as data
security and maximum number of user addresses.

IPv6 increases the address space from 32 to 128 bits, providing for an unlimited (for all intents
and purposes) number of networks and systems. It also supports quality of service (QoS)
parameters for realtime audio and video. Originally called "IP Next Generation" (IPng), IPv6
is expected to slowly replace IPv4, with the two existing side by side for many years.

IPv6 was officially deployed in July 2004 when ICANN added IPv6 records to its DNS root
server for the .jp (Japan) and .kr (Korea) country codes.

SONET

(​S​ynchronous ​O​ptical ​NET​work) A fiber-optic transmission system for high-speed digital

traffic. Employed by telephone companies and common carriers, speeds range from 51 Mbps
to 40 Gbps.

SONET is an intelligent system that provides advanced network management and a standard
optical interface. Specified in the Broadband ISDN (B-ISDN) standard, SONET backbones are
widely used to aggregate T1 and T3 lines. The European counterpart to SONET is the

19
Synchronous Digital Hierarchy, and the term "SONET/SDH" is widely used when referring to
SONE

ERP / SAP

(E​nterprise ​R​esource ​P​lanning) An integrated information system that serves all departments
within an enterprise. Evolving out of the manufacturing industry, ERP implies the use of
packaged software rather than proprietary software written by or for one customer. ERP
modules may be able to interface with an organization's own software with varying degrees of
effort, and, depending on the software, ERP modules may be alterable via the vendor's
proprietary tools as well as proprietary or standard programming languages.

PeopleSoft HRMS

(PeopleSoft, Inc., Pleasanton, CA, www.peoplesoft.com) A software company that specializes

in enterprise-wide applications for client/server environments. Initially specializing in human
resources, its package offerings today cover the gamut including financial, distribution,
manufacturing and supply chain, plus numerous vertical markets. All major databases are
supported. Its products are known for their modularity as well as their ease of modification and
customization using the PeopleTools development system.

TELECOM

GSM
(​G​lobal ​S​ystem for ​M​obile Communications) A digital cellular phone technology based on
TDMA that is the predominant system in Europe, but also used worldwide. Developed in the
1980s, GSM was first deployed in seven European countries in 1992. It operates in the
900MHz and 1.8GHz bands in Europe and the 1.9GHz PCS band in the U.S. Based on a
circuit-switched system that divides each 200 kHz channel into eight 25 kHz time slots, GSM
defines the entire cellular system, not just the TDMA air interface.

GPRS
G​eneral ​P​acket ​R​adio ​S​ervice) An enhancement to the GSM mobile communications system
that supports data packets. GPRS enables continuous flows of IP data packets over the system
for such applications as Web browsing and file transfer. GPRS differs from GSM's short
messaging service (GSM-SMS) which is limited to messages of 160 bytes in length. See ​GSM​.

3G

20
(​3​rd ​G​eneration) The current generation of data transmission over a cellular network. In
CDMA networks such as Verizon Wireless and Sprint, EV-DO is the 3G service. Cingular and
other TDMA-based networks support the UMTS technology for 3G, and GPRS is the 3G data
service for Vodaphone and other GSM carriers.

UMTS

(​U​niversal ​M​obile ​T​elecommunications ​S​ystem) The European implementation of the 3G

wireless phone system. UMTS, which is part of IMT-2000, provides service in the 2GHz band
and offers global roaming and personalized features. Designed as an evolutionary system for
GSM network operators, multimedia data rates up to 2 Mbps are expected using WCDMA. In
the interim, GPRS and EDGE are 2.5G technologies that speed up wireless data for GSM
users.

DSP

(​D​igital ​S​ignal ​P​rocessor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing
applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift
and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive signal processing.
DSP chips are widely used in a myriad of devices, including cellphones, sound cards, fax
machines, modems, hard disks and digital TVs. The first DSP chip used in a commercial
product was believed to be in the very popular Speak & Spell game

TDMA

(T​ime ​D​ivision ​M​ultiple ​A​ccess) A satellite and cellular phone technology that interleaves
multiple digital signals onto a single high-speed channel. For cellular, TDMA triples the
capacity of the original analog method (FDMA). It divides each channel into three
subchannels providing service to three users instead of one. The GSM cellular system is also
based on TDMA, but GSM defines the entire network, not just the air interface.

CDMA

(​C​ode ​D​ivision ​M​ultiple ​A​ccess) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a
shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular
phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800MHz band and 1.9GHz PCS
band. CDMA phones are noted for their call quality.

WAP

W​ireless ​A​pplication ​P​rotocol) A standard for providing cellular phones, pagers and other
handheld devices with secure access to e-mail and text-based Web pages. Introduced in 1997
by Phone.com (later Openwave Systems), Ericsson, Motorola and Nokia, WAP provides a
21
complete environment for wireless applications that includes a wireless counterpart of TCP/IP
and a framework for telephony integration such as call control and phone book access.

SS7

(​S​ignaling ​S​ystem ​7​) The protocol used in the public switched telephone system (the
"intelligent network" or "advanced intelligent network") for setting up calls and providing
services. SS7 is a separate signaling network that is used in Class 4 and Class 5 voice switches.

VOIP

(​V​oice ​O​ver ​IP​) A telephone service that uses the Internet as a global telephone network.
Many companies, including Vonage, 8x8 and AT&T (CallVantage), typically offer calling
within the country for a fixed fee and a low per-minute charge for international. Broadband
Internet access (cable or DSL) is required, and regular house phones plug into an analog
telephone adapter (ATA) provided by the company or purchased from a third party.

SIGTRAN

(​SIG​naling ​TRAN​sport) An IP telephony protocol from the IETF that is used to transfer SS7
signals over IP networks. The telco switch sends SS7 signals to a signaling gateway (SG) that
converts them into SIGTRAN packets, which travel over IP to the next signaling gateway or to
a softswitch if the destination is not another PSTN. SIGTRAN uses the Stream Control
Transmission Protocol (SCTP) for reliable transport. See ​IP telephony​ and ​SCTP​.

MGCP/MEGACO

(​M​edia ​G​ateway ​C​ontrol ​P​rotocol/​ME​dia ​GA​teway ​CO​ntroller) An IP telephony signaling

protocol from the IETF. MGCP was the original protocol, which evolved into MEGACO.
Both protocols are designed for implementation in IP phones that are lower cost than SIP or
H.323 phones. MGCP/MEGACO requires the use of softswitches for call control and more
resembles the telephony model of the circuit-switched PSTN than do SIP and H.323. The
softswitch is aware of the entire call throughout its duration (it manages state) and enables
operator intervention like the PSTN. MCGP/MEGACO is a combination of the SGCP and
IPCD protocols, and many devices that implement MGCP/MEGACO also support SIP and/or
H.323.

SIP

(​S​ession ​I​nitiation ​P​rotocol) An IP telephony signaling protocol developed by the IETF.

Primarily used for voice over IP (VoIP) calls, SIP can also be used for video or any media
type; for example, SIP has been used to set up multi-player Quake games. With SIMPLE
extensions for IM and presence, SIP is also used for instant messaging

22
 H.323

An ITU standard for realtime voice and videoconferencing over packet networks, including
LANs, WANs and the Internet. Although H.323 is a very comprehensive standard that
supports voice, video, data, application sharing and whiteboarding, the parts relating to audio
protocols have been widely used for IP telephony applications.

TMN

(​T​elecommunications ​M​anagement ​N​etwork) A set of international standards for network

management from the ITU. It is used by large carriers such as Sprint, MCI WorldCom and
AT&T.

Bluetooth

A wireless personal area network (WPAN) technology from the Bluetooth Special Interest
Group (www.bluetooth.com) founded in 1998 by Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Nokia and Toshiba.
Bluetooth is an open standard for short-range transmission of digital voice and data that
supports point-to-point and multipoint applications. Some of the first Bluetooth applications
have been for cellphones, providing a wireless connection to a headset and to an automobile's
audio system for hands-free operation

Linux

A very popular version of the Unix operating system that runs on a variety of hardware
platforms including x86, Itanium, PowerPC and IBM's entire product line. Linux is widely
used as a server OS and is gaining ground in the desktop market.

Windows NT

(Windows ​N​ew ​T​echnology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs.
NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see ​Windows​). Available in
separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive
multitasking. Windows NT was introduced in 1993 as Version 3.1 with the same user interface
as Windows 3.1. In 1996, Version 4.0 switched to the Windows 95 desktop and changed some
of the dialogs (see table below).

23
 kernel

The fundamental part of a program, typically an operating system, that resides in memory at
all times and provides the basic services. It is the part of the operating system that is closest to
the machine and may activate the hardware directly or interface to another software layer that
drives the hardware

Tcl/Tk

(​T​ool ​C​ommand ​L​anguage/​T​ool​Ki​ t) Pronounced "tickle" or "ticklet," it is an interpreted script

language that is used to develop a variety of applications, including GUIs, prototypes and CGI
scripts. Created for the Unix platform by John Ousterhout along with students at the University
of California at Berkeley, it was later ported to PCs and Macs. Safe-Tcl is an enhanced Tcl
interpreter that provides a secure, virus free environment.

Tcl also provides an interface into compiled applications (C, C++, etc.). The application is
compiled with Tcl functions, which provide a bi-directional path between Tcl scripts and the
executable programs. Tcl provides a way to "glue" program modules together. The Tk part of
Tcl/Tk is the GUI toolkit, which is used to create graphical user interfaces. Other languages,
including Perl, Python and Scheme, have incorporated Tk as well.

Storage device

A peripheral unit that holds data such as disk, tape or flash memory card. For a summary of all
storage technologies,

iSCSI

(​I​nternet ​SCSI​) A protocol that serializes SCSI commands and converts them to TCP/IP

SAN

(​S​torage ​A​rea ​N​etwork) A network of storage disks. In large enterprises, a SAN connects
multiple servers to a centralized pool of disk storage. Compared to managing hundreds of
servers, each with their own disks, SANs improve system administration. By treating all the
company's storage as a single resource, disk maintenance and routine backups are easier to
schedule and control. In some SANs, the disks themselves can copy data to other disks for
backup without any processing overhead at the host

RAID

(​R​edundant ​A​rray of ​I​ndependent D

​ ​isks) A disk subsystem that is used to increase
performance or provide fault tolerance or both. RAID uses two or more ordinary hard disks
and a RAID disk controller. In the past, RAID has also been implemented via software only.

24
 NAS
(​N​etwork ​A​ttached ​S​torage) A specialized file server that connects to the network. A NAS
device contains a slimmed-down operating system and a file system and processes only I/O
requests by supporting the popular file sharing protocols, primarily CIFS for Windows and
NFS for Unix.
