Request for Comments - Refers to documents published by the Internet Engineering Task

Force (IETF) proposing standard protocols and procedures for the Internet. RFC can be

found at www.ietf.org.

Route

The path that network traffic takes from its source to its destination. The route a datagram

may follow can include many gateways and many physical networks. In the Internet, each

datagram is routed separately.

Router

A system is responsible for making decisions about which of several paths network (or

Internet) traffic will follow. To do this, it uses a routing protocol to gain information about the

network and algorithms to choose the best route based on several criteria known as

"routing metrics".

Routing Table

Information stored within a router that contains network path and status information. It is

used to select the most appropriate route to forward information along.

Routing Information Protocol

Routers periodically exchange information with one another so that they can determine

minimum distance paths between sources and destinations.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol - The network management protocol of choice for

TCP/IP-based Internet.

SOCKET

(1) The Berkeley UNIX mechanism for creating a virtual connection between processes.

(2) IBM term for software interfaces that allow two UNIX application programs to talk via

TCP/IP protocols.
