  2. Convective inhibition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convective_inhibition

    The layer of air dominated by CIN is warmer and more stable than the layers above or below it. The situation in which convective inhibition is measured is when layers of warmer air are above a particular region of air. The effect of having warm air above a cooler air parcel is to prevent the cooler air parcel from rising into the atmosphere.

  3. Convective available potential energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convective_available...

    When a layer of CIN is present, the layer must be eroded by surface heating or mechanical lifting, so that convective boundary layer parcels may reach their level of free convection (LFC). On a sounding diagram, CAPE is the positive area above the LFC, the area between the parcel's virtual temperature line and the environmental virtual ...

  4. Multi-link trunking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-link_trunking

    This produces server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections that are up to 8 times faster. Prior to MLT and other aggregation techniques, parallel links were underutilized due to Spanning Tree Protocol’s loop protection. Fault-tolerant design is an important aspect of Multi-Link Trunking technology. Should any one or more than one link ...

  5. Spanning Tree Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanning_Tree_Protocol

    The original Perlman-inspired Spanning Tree Protocol, called DEC STP, is not a standard and differs from the IEEE version in message format as well as timer settings. Some bridges implement both the IEEE and the DEC versions of the Spanning Tree Protocol, but their interworking can create issues for the network administrator. [16]

  6. Carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-sense_multiple...

    Carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) in computer networking, is a network multiple access method in which carrier sensing is used, but nodes attempt to avoid collisions by beginning transmission only after the channel is sensed to be "idle".

  7. Unidirectional Link Detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unidirectional_Link_Detection

    Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD) is a data link layer protocol from Cisco Systems to monitor the physical configuration of cables and detect unidirectional links. UDLD complements the Spanning Tree Protocol which is used to eliminate switching loops.

  8. Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Multiple_Spanning_Tree_Protocol

    This is done as well as in Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) without the need of manually enabling backup links and getting rid of switching loop danger. Moreover, MSTP allows frames/packets assigned to different VLANs to follow separate paths, each based on an independent MSTI, within MST regions composed of local area networks (LANs) and MST bridges.

  9. Message Transfer Part - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Transfer_Part

    A distinction is made between a Signaling Transfer Point (STP) which only performs MTP message routing functionalities and a Signaling End Point (SEP) which uses MTP to communicate with other SEPs (that is, telecom switches). MTP3 is also responsible for network management; when the availability of MTP2 data links changes.
