International Telecommunications Union: (ITU) Formerly known as
CCITT, the primary international standards organization for wired public
telecommunications networks.
International Telecommunications Union-
Telecommunications Standardization Sector: (ITU-T) Formerly
known as CCITT, the primary international standards organization for wired
public telecommunications networks. Also called ITU-TSS.
Internet Engineering Task Force: (IETF) Part of the IAB responsible
for short-term engineering needs relating to the TCP/IP protocol suite.
Internet Protocol: (IP) The network-layer protocol for the TCP/IP
Protocol Suite. It is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol.
K
kilo: (K,k) In a microcomputer system, one kilo equals 1,024 or 2 to the 10th
power.
kilobits per second: (kbps or kb/s) A unit of transmission rate, equal to
one thousand (1,000 or 1 x 10E3) bits per second.
kiloHertz: (kHz) A unit of frequency equal to one thousand (1,000 or 1 x
10E3) cycles per second (Hz).
L
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission: (laser) A laser is a
device which generates a coherent, monochromatic beam of light which is
used for single-mode, fiber-optic transmissions. Laser is also used to refer to
a component.laserlight amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. It is
a device which generates a coherent, monochromatic beam of light which is
used for single-mode, fiber-optic transmissions. Laser is also used to refer to
a component.
Light Emitting Diode: (LED) An electronic device that converts an
electrical signal into a light signal. In addition to their use as status indicators
on most computer and communications devices,LEDs also are used as the
light signal source for some multi-mode, fiber-optic transmissions.
Liquid Crystal Display: (LCD) A visual display that uses an electric
current to charge a thin layer of fluid that is trapped between two glass plates.
Local Access and Transport Area: (LATA) Area of responsibility of
local carrier in USA. When telephone circuits have their start and finish points
within a LATA they are the sole responsibility of the local telephone company
concerned.When they cross a LATA boundary, i.e., go inter-LATA, they are
the responsibility of an interexchange carrier or IEC.
