Ethernet flow control. Ethernet flow control is a mechanism for temporarily stopping the transmission of data on Ethernet family computer networks. The goal of this mechanism is to avoid packet loss in the presence of network congestion . The first flow control mechanism, the pause frame, was defined by the IEEE 802.3x standard.
Dynamic Frequency Selection ( DFS) is a channel allocation scheme specified for wireless LANs, commonly known as Wi-Fi. It is designed to prevent electromagnetic interference by avoiding co-channel operation with systems that predated Wi-Fi, such as military radar, satellite communication, and weather radar, and also to provide on aggregate a ...
Interpacket gap. In computer networking, the interpacket gap ( IPG ), also known as interframe spacing, or interframe gap ( IFG ), is a pause which may be required between network packets or network frames. Depending on the physical layer protocol or encoding used, the pause may be necessary to allow for receiver clock recovery, permitting the ...
VPNFilter is malware designed to infect routers and certain network attached storage devices. As of 24 May 2018, it is estimated to have infected approximately 500,000 routers worldwide, though the number of at-risk devices is larger. [1] It can steal data, contains a "kill switch" designed to disable the infected router on command, and is able ...

Link aggregation between a switch and a server. In computer networking, link aggregation is the combining ( aggregating) of multiple network connections in parallel by any of several methods. Link aggregation increases total throughput beyond what a single connection could sustain, and provides redundancy where all but one of the physical links ...
HTTP/3 is the third major version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol used to exchange information on the World Wide Web, complementing the widely-deployed HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2. Unlike previous versions which relied on the well-established TCP (published in 1974), [2] HTTP/3 uses QUIC , a multiplexed transport protocol built on UDP . [3]
Wireless access point. [1] [2] In computer networking, a wireless access point, or more generally just access point ( AP ), is a networking hardware device that allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to a wired network or wireless network. As a standalone device, the AP may have a wired connection to a switch or router, but, in a wireless router ...
