311
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol used for
downloading IP addresses in UNIX networks. It requires a RARP
daemon on your system, and only operates within a single network
segment. A request made to an active RARP daemon initiates a search
of the Ethernet Address Table for an entry matching the print server's
Ethernet address. If a matching entry is found, the daemon downloads
the IP address to the print server.
RISC Reduced Instruction Set Computing. A processor that recognizes only
a limited number of assembly-language instructions.
SAP Service Advertising Protocol. A NetWare network name advertising
service that e.g. file servers can use for advertising their existence to
network clients.
SAP(2) Service Access Point. Field defined by the IEEE 802.2 specification
that is part of an address specification. Thus, the destination plus the
DSAP define the recipient of a packet. The same applies to the SSAP
SCS SNA Character String. A sequence of control commands that allows
sophisticated control of printers and other devices.
SNA Systems Network Architecture. IBM's data communications
architecture defining levels of protocols for communications between
terminals and applications as well as between programs. Originally
SNA was strictly host-based with VTAM controlling the network
except for path control which was provided by NCP in the FEP.
Recently, with the APPN/APPC and HPR additions SNA has become
more distributed.
SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol for
managing and monitoring nodes on a network.
SSCP System Services Control Point. SNA software within VTAM which
handles network name/address conversion, device configuration,
network diagnostics and recovery. The SSCP is a NAU located on a
host node in the network.
