Ethernet over USB is the use of a USB link as a part of an Ethernet network, resulting in an Ethernet connection over USB (instead of e.g. PCI or PCIe).. USB over Ethernet (also called USB over Network or USB over IP) is a system to share USB-based devices over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or the Internet, allowing access to devices over a network.
hostapd (host access point daemon) is a user space daemon software enabling a network interface card to act as an access point and authentication server. There are three implementations: Jouni Malinen's hostapd, OpenBSD's hostapd and Devicescape's hostapd.
A network service access point address (NSAP address), defined in ISO/IEC 8348, is an identifying label for a service access point (SAP) used in OSI networking.. These are roughly comparable to IP addresses used in the Internet Protocol; they can specify a piece of equipment connected to an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network.
A common example is an ISP point of presence, the local access point that allows users to connect to the Internet with their Internet service provider (ISP). [1] A PoP typically houses servers , routers , network switches , multiplexers , and other network interface equipment, and is typically located in a data center .
The concept of a single point of failure has also been applied to fields outside of engineering, computers, and networking, such as corporate supply chain management [6] and transportation management. [7] Design structures that create single points of failure include bottlenecks and series circuits (in contrast to parallel circuits).
Dell calls this feature PowerShare, [85] and it needs to be enabled in the BIOS. Toshiba calls it USB Sleep-and-Charge . [ 86 ] On Acer Inc. and Packard Bell laptops, sleep-and-charge USB ports are marked with a non-standard symbol (the letters USB over a drawing of a battery); the feature is called Power-off USB .

Wi-Fi positioning system (WPS, WiPS or WFPS) is a geolocation system that uses the characteristics of nearby Wi‑Fi access points to discover where a device is located. [1]It is used where satellite navigation such as GPS is inadequate due to various causes including multipath and signal blockage indoors, or where acquiring a satellite fix would take too long. [2]
Service access points are also used in IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control in Ethernet and similar data link layer protocols. When using the OSI Network system ( CONS or CLNS ), the base for constructing an address for a network element is an NSAP address , similar in concept to an IP address .
