lowercase alphabetic letters, numeric digits, and special symbols.
application-specific
integrated circuit

An application-specific integrated circuit developed to perform more quickly
and efficiently than a generic processor.

Custom
AutoNegotiation
Advertisement
(CANA)
An enhancement of the IEEE 802.3 autonegotiation process on the
10/100/1000 copper ports. Custom AutoNegotiation Advertisement offers
improved control over the autonegotiation process. The system advertises
all port capabilities that include, for tri-speed ports, 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s,
1000 Mb/s speeds, and duplex and half-duplex modes of operation. This
advertisement results in autonegotiation between the local and remote end
that settles on the highest common denominator. Custom AutoNegotiation
Advertisement can advertise a user-defined subset of the capabilities that
settle on a lower or particular capability.
Data Terminating
Equipment (DTE)
A computer or terminal on the network that is the source or destination of
signals.
denial-of-service
(DoS)
Attacks that prevent a target server or victim device from performing its
normal functions through flooding, irregular protocol sizes (for example,
ping requests aimed at the victim server), and application buffer overflows.
Domain Name
