  2. Domain Name System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System

    An often-used analogy to explain the DNS is that it serves as the phone book for the Internet by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For example, the hostname www.example.com within the domain name example.com translates to the addresses 93.184.216.34 and 2606:2800:220:1:248:1893:25c8:1946 . The DNS can be quickly ...

  3. IPX/SPX - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPX/SPX

    The open source FreeBSD operating system includes an IPX/SPX stack, to support both a NetWare file system client, nwfs, as well as NetWare server using Mars NWE [7] [8] (providing some functionality [9]). OpenBSD dropped support with version 4.2, [10] [11] and 4.1 needed some work to compile with IPX. [12]

    1 0x7E, the beginning of a PPP frame Address 1 0xFF, standard broadcast address Control 1 0x03, unnumbered data Protocol 2 PPP ID of embedded data Information variable (0 or more) datagram Padding variable (0 or more) optional padding Frame Check Sequence 2 frame checksum Flag 1 0x7E, omitted for successive PPP packets

  5. 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.

  6. 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]

  7. Frame (networking) - Wikipedia

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

    In the OSI model of computer networking, a frame is the protocol data unit at the data link layer. Frames are the result of the final layer of encapsulation before the data is transmitted over the physical layer. [1] A frame is "the unit of transmission in a link layer protocol, and consists of a link layer header followed by a packet."

  8. 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).

  9. Multicast DNS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_DNS

    Multicast DNS (mDNS) is a computer networking protocol that resolves hostnames to IP addresses within small networks that do not include a local name server.It is a zero-configuration service, using essentially the same programming interfaces, packet formats and operating semantics as unicast Domain Name System (DNS).
