SRB
source-route bridging. Method of bridging originated by IBM and popular in Token Ring networks.
In an SRB network, the entire route to a destination is predetermined, in real time, prior to
transmission of the data to its destination.
SSCP
System Services Control Point. Focal point within an SNA network for managing network
configuration, coordinating network operator and problem determination requests, and providing
directory services and other session services for network end users.
SSCP-PU session
Session used by SNA to allow an SSCP to manage the resources of a node through the PU. SSCPs
can send requests to, and receive replies from, individual nodes in order to control the network
configuration.
SSP
Switch-to-Switch Protocol. Protocol specified in the DLSw standard, used by routers establish
DLSw connections, locate resources, forward data, and handle flow control and error recovery. See
also DLSw.
static route
An explicitly configured route entered into the routing table. Static routes take precedence over
routes chosen by dynamic routing protocols.

T
target
Any IP-addressable device or IBM Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) mainframe that can be reached
by the source router. The target is the destination of the network performance measurement.
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol. Connection-oriented transport layer protocol that provides reliable
full-duplex data transmission. TCP is part of the TCP/IP protocol stack. See also
TCP/IP.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Common name for the suite of protocols developed
by the U.S. DoD in the 1970s to support the construction of worldwide internetworks. TCP and IP
are the two best-known protocols in the suite. See also
IP and TCP.
throughput
Rate of information arriving at, and possibly passing through, a particular point in a network system.
timeout
Event that occurs when one network device expects to hear from another network device within a
specified period of time, but does not. Typically, a timeout results in a retransmission of information,
or the cancellation of the session between the two devices.
