t. e. The Bootstrap Protocol ( BOOTP) is a computer networking protocol used in Internet Protocol networks to automatically assign an IP address to network devices from a configuration server. The BOOTP was originally defined in RFC 951 published in 1985. While some parts of BOOTP have been effectively superseded by the Dynamic Host ...
Bootstrapping node. A bootstrapping node, also known as a rendezvous host, [1] is a node in an overlay network that provides initial configuration information to newly joining nodes so that they may successfully join the overlay network. [2] [3] Bootstrapping nodes are predominantly found in decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) networks because of ...
In computer technology, the term bootstrapping refers to language compilers that are able to be coded in the same language. (For example, a C compiler is now written in the C language. Once the basic compiler is written, improvements can be iteratively made, thus pulling the language up by its bootstraps).
In the field of electronics, a technique where part of the output of a system is used at startup can be described as bootstrapping. A bootstrap circuit is one where part of the output of an amplifier stage is applied to the input, so as to alter the input impedance of the amplifier. When applied deliberately, the intention is usually to ...
In computing, the Preboot eXecution Environment, PXE (most often pronounced as / ˈpɪksiː / pixie, often called PXE Boot/ pixie boot .) specification describes a standardized client–server environment that boots a software assembly, retrieved from a network, on PXE-enabled clients. On the client side it requires only a PXE-capable network ...
Virtual Network Computing. Virtual Network Computing logo. Virtual Network Computing ( VNC) is a graphical desktop-sharing system that uses the Remote Frame Buffer protocol (RFB) to remotely control another computer. It transmits the keyboard and mouse input from one computer to another, relaying the graphical- screen updates, over a network.
v. t. e. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP) is a network management protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks for automatically assigning IP addresses and other communication parameters to devices connected to the network using a client–server architecture. [1]
Trivial File Transfer Protocol ( TFTP) is a simple lockstep File Transfer Protocol which allows a client to get a file from or put a file onto a remote host. One of its primary uses is in the early stages of nodes booting from a local area network. TFTP has been used for this application because it is very simple to implement.
