A metropolitan-area Ethernet, Ethernet MAN, carrier Ethernet [1] or metro Ethernet network is a metropolitan area network (MAN) that is based on Ethernet standards. It is commonly used to connect subscribers to a larger service network or for internet access. Businesses can also use metropolitan-area Ethernet to connect their own offices to ...
Physical. In storage networking, Fibre Channel zoning is the partitioning of a Fibre Channel fabric into smaller subsets to restrict interference, add security, and to simplify management. While a SAN makes available several devices and/or ports to a single device, each system connected to the SAN should only be allowed access to a controlled ...
A local area network ( LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited area such as a residence, school, laboratory, university campus or office building. [1] By contrast, a wide area network (WAN) not only covers a larger geographic distance, but also generally involves leased telecommunication circuits .
Hierarchical VLAN is a proposed extension to VLAN which, like PBB and PBT, turns cost-efficient Ethernet into a flexible, carrier-grade transport technology. Unlike other technologies, HVLAN uses the mature VLAN functionality to support all connectivity schemes: point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint.
Unicast flood. In computer networking, a unicast flood occurs when a switch receives a unicast frame and the switch does not know that the addressee is on any particular switch port. Since the switch has no information regarding which port, if any, the addressee might be reached through, it forwards the frame through all ports aside from the ...
VoIP recording. Voice over Internet Protocol ( VoIP) recording is a subset of telephone recording or voice logging, first used by call centers and now being used by all types of businesses. There are many reasons for recording voice over IP call traffic such as: reducing company vulnerability to lawsuits by maintaining recorded evidence ...
Use. Computer networks extend interpersonal communications by electronic means with various technologies, such as email, instant messaging, online chat, voice and video telephone calls, and video conferencing. A network allows sharing of network and computing resources.
Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching ( EAPS) is used to create a fault tolerant topology by configuring a primary and secondary path for each VLAN . Invented by Extreme Networks and submitted to IETF as RFC3619. The idea is to provide highly available Ethernet switched rings (commonly used in Metro Ethernet) to replace legacy TDM based ...
