User’s Manual of GS-5220 Series

TFTP

TFTP is an acronym for Trivial File Transfer Protocol. It is transfer protocol that uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP)

and provides file writing and reading, but it does not provides directory service and security features.

ToS

ToS is an acronym for Type of Service. It is implemented as the IPv4 ToS priority control. It is fully decoded to

determine the priority from the 6-bit ToS field in the IP header. The most significant 6 bits of the ToS field are fully

decoded into 64 possibilities, and the singular code that results is compared against the corresponding bit in the IPv4

ToS priority control bit (0~63).

TLV

TLV is an acronym for Type Length Value. A LLDP frame can contain multiple pieces of information. Each of these

pieces of information is known as TLV.

TKIP

TKIP is an acronym for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. It used in WPA to replace WEP with a new encryption

algorithm. TKIP comprises the same encryption engine and RC4 algorithm defined for WEP. The key used for

encryption in TKIP is 128 bits and changes the key used for each packet.

U

UDP

UDP is an acronym for User Datagram Protocol. It is a communications protocol that uses the Internet Protocol (IP) to

exchange the messages between computers.

UDP is an alternative to the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) that uses the Internet Protocol (IP). Unlike TCP, UDP

does not provide the service of dividing a message into packet datagrams, and UDP doesn't provide reassembling and

sequencing of the packets. This means that the application program that uses UDP must be able to make sure that the

entire message has arrived and is in the right order. Network applications that want to save processing time because

they have very small data units to exchange may prefer UDP to TCP.

UDP provides two services not provided by the IP layer. It provides port numbers to help distinguish different user

requests and, optionally, a checksum capability to verify that the data arrived intact.

Common network applications that use UDP include the Domain Name System (DNS), streaming media applications

such as IPTV, Voice over IP (VoIP), and Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).

UPnP

UPnP is an acronym for Universal Plug and Play. The goals of UPnP are to allow devices to connect seamlessly and to

simplify the implementation of networks in the home (data sharing, communications, and entertainment) and in

corporate environments for simplified installation of computer components
