RIP
RIP Routing Information Protocol. RIP is based on distance vector
algorithms that measure the shortest path between two points on a
network, based on the addresses of the originating and destination
devices. The shortest path is determined by the number of "hops"
between those points. Each router maintains a routing table, or routing
database, of known addresses and routes; each router periodically
broadcasts the contents of its table to neighboring routers in order that the
entire network can maintain a synchronized database.
robbed bit A type of analog signaling that will occasionally steal information bits
used for circuit signaling coding.
RTCP Real-Time Control Protocol.
SAP Service Access Point.
silence
suppression A term used in voice compression for transmission whereby silence in
the voice conversation is filled with other transmissions (data, video,
imaging, etc.).
SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP is the most common
method by which network managements applications can query a
management agent using a supported MIB (Management Information
Base). SNMP operates at the OSI application layer.
spanning tree Spanning Tree Protocol is a link management protocol that provides path
redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For an
Ethernet network to function properly, only one active path can exist
between two stations.
SDP Session Description Protocol.
