Introduction

Networks are currently one of the fastest growing and most important developments in
the computer industry. Not only are more and more PCs becoming parts of networks, but
networked PCs are being incorporated into larger enterprise-wide applications so that everyone
in a company can access and share data.
With the expanding technology of networking comes the terminology to describe it.
This
Dictionary of Networking
provides definitions for all the terms you will encounter
when dealing with networks of any type.

Who Should Use This Book?

This book is designed to meet the needs of people who work with networks, communications,
and mobile computing systems. Whether you are networking previously unconnected
computers or downsizing from a mainframe, this book is for you. And if you are
studying for one of the network certification exams, you will find this book to be an essential
reference.
Network users of all levels are barraged with an almost bewildering array of terms, abbreviations,
and acronyms in books, magazine and newspaper articles, advertisements,
and their day-to-day conversations. Jargon is a useful shorthand, but it can easily become
incomprehensible and unmanageable, even to the most seasoned network administrator.

What You’ll Find in This Book

Along with clear explanations of the jargon and slang associated with networking, you’ll
find definitions of more than 3,000 networking technical terms, abbreviations, and acronyms.
The list that follows gives you a brief overview of the topics that this book covers:

Acronyms and abbreviations

Active Directory

ActiveX

Application software

Cables, cards, and connectors

Certification schemes

Chips, memory, and adapters

Communications
