  2. Simple Network Paging Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Network_Paging_Protocol

    Simple Network Paging Protocol (SNPP) is a protocol that defines a method by which a pager can receive a message over the Internet. It is supported by most major paging providers, and serves as an alternative to the paging modems used by many telecommunications services. The protocol was most recently described in RFC 1861.

  3. Pager - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pager

    In all systems, clients send messages to pagers, an activity commonly referred to as paging. System operators often assign unique phone numbers or email addresses to pagers (and pre-defined groups of pagers), enabling clients to page by telephone call, e-mail and SMS. Paging systems also support various types of direct connection protocols ...

  4. Memory paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_paging

    In computer operating systems, memory paging (or swapping on some Unix-like systems) is a memory management scheme by which a computer stores and retrieves data from secondary storage [a] for use in main memory. [1]

  5. Cellular network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_network

    The three different paging procedures generally adopted are sequential, parallel and selective paging. The details of the process of paging vary somewhat from network to network, but normally we know a limited number of cells where the phone is located (this group of cells is called a Location Area in the GSM or UMTS system, or Routing Area if ...

  6. Page (computer memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_(computer_memory)

    Similarly, a page frame is the smallest fixed-length contiguous block of physical memory into which memory pages are mapped by the operating system. [1] [2] [3] A transfer of pages between main memory and an auxiliary store, such as a hard disk drive, is referred to as paging or swapping. [4]

  7. Thrashing (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrashing_(computer_science)

    In computer science, thrashing occurs in a system with virtual memory when a computer's real storage resources are overcommitted, leading to a constant state of paging and page faults, slowing most application-level processing. [1] This causes the performance of the computer to degrade or even collapse. The situation can continue indefinitely ...

  8. Page fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_fault

    The MMU detects the page fault, but the operating system's kernel handles the exception by making the required page accessible in the physical memory or denying an illegal memory access. Valid page faults are common and necessary to increase the amount of memory available to programs in any operating system that uses virtual memory , such as ...

  9. FLEX (protocol) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLEX_(protocol)

    In The Netherlands the emergency services use the Flex-protocol in the nationwide P2000 network for pagers. The traffic on this network can be monitored online. [1]In South Australia the State's SAGRN network for the Emergency Services paging system (CFS, SES, MFS and SAAS) is run on the FLEX 1600 protocol, and can be monitored online.
