  2. Frame (networking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_(networking)

    A frame is "the unit of transmission in a link layer protocol, and consists of a link layer header followed by a packet." [2] Each frame is separated from the next by an interframe gap. A frame is a series of bits generally composed of frame synchronization bits, the packet payload, and a frame check sequence.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System

    A DNS name server is a server that stores the DNS records for a domain; a DNS name server responds with answers to queries against its database. The most common types of records stored in the DNS database are for start of authority ( SOA ), IP addresses ( A and AAAA ), SMTP mail exchangers (MX), name servers (NS), pointers for reverse DNS ...

    Specified as part of the Sender Policy Framework protocol as an alternative to storing SPF data in TXT records, using the same format. It was discontinued in RFC 7208 due to widespread lack of support. [19] [20] NINFO 56 — Used to provide status information about a zone.

    The checksum calculation is defined as follows: [5] The checksum field is the 16 bit one's complement of the one's complement sum of all 16 bit words in the header. For purposes of computing the checksum, the value of the checksum field is zero.

  7. Encapsulation (networking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encapsulation_(networking)

    For example, in the IP suite, the contents of a web page are encapsulated with an HTTP header, then by a TCP header, an IP header, and, finally, by a frame header and trailer. The frame is forwarded to the destination node as a stream of bits, where it is decapsulated into the respective PDUs and interpreted at each layer by the receiving node. [8]

  8. Frame synchronization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_synchronization

    Individual frames are then "minor frames" within that superframe. Each frame contains a subframe ID (often a simple counter) which identifies its position within the superframe. A second frame synchronizer establishes superframe synchronization. This allows subcommutation, where some data is sent less frequently than every frame.

  9. NAPTR record - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAPTR_record

    A Name Authority Pointer (NAPTR) is a type of resource record in the Domain Name System of the Internet. [1] [2]NAPTR records are most commonly used for applications in Internet telephony, for example, in the mapping of servers and user addresses in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
