Parent topics
- Computer science [r]: The study of how computers work, and the algorithms, data structures and design principles used in their operation and programming. [e]
- Computer networking reference models [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Convergence of communications [r]: Technical specifications and infrastructure to allow all types of communications (e.g., telephone, web, television) to interface over a common set of information transfer technologies [e]
- Cryptography [r]: A field at the intersection of mathematics and computer science that is concerned with the security of information, typically the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of some message. [e]
- Fault tolerance [r]: A characteristic of a system such that it can have one or more subcomponents fail, yet have the system continue to operate with at least partial functionality [e]
- Information theory [r]: Theory of the probability of transmission of messages with specified accuracy when the bits of information constituting the messages are subject, with certain probabilities, to transmission failure, distortion, and accidental additions. [e]
- Internet protocol suite [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Telecommunications [r]: Add brief definition or description
Subtopics
- Extranet [r]: A predefined set of networked computers, under the control of different enterprises, that can communicate with one another for well-defined, secure application processing. [e]
- Internet [r]: International "network of networks" that connects computers together through the Internet Protocol Suite and supports applications like Email and the World Wide Web. [e]
- Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers [r]: A.k.a. ICANN, the top-level international organization that directing the Domain Name System (DNS), Internet Protocol addresses, and other technical identifiers that must be unique for the proper operation of the Internet [e]
- Internet Engineering Task Force [r]: Internet standards body that operates on a consensus-based model. [e]
- Internet Society [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Intranet [r]: A set of networked computers, under one administration, which can only communicate with one another. [e]
- Local area network [r]: A range of techniques for interconnecting multiple computers, over physical media such as wire or over wireless radio, within a limited geographic area, typically multiples of 100 meters. [e]
{{r|Multihoming]}
- Network topology [r]: Defines the method in which a computer network is architected; topologies can be either physical (meaning how the actual hardware is interconnected) or logical (meaning how that network is implemented by protocols in software) [e]
- North American Network Operators Group [r]: An informal organization of service providers, vendors and users that are responsible for the technical operation of the Internet [e]
- Request for Comment [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Réseaux IP Européens [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Routing [r]: The process of receiving a packet on one interface of a router, validating the packet and forwarding it out the appropriate interface. [e]
- Virtual private network [r]: The emulation of a private Wide Area Network (WAN) facility using IP facilities, including the public Internet or private IP backbones. [e]
- Wireless local area network [r]: A local area network, with a range in hundreds to thousands of meters, which transfers high-speed digital data without a direct physical connection between nodes on the network, usually by radio; the nodes are assumed to stay in one general area, as opposed to moving widely as in cellular telephony [e]
- Email system [r]: Add brief definition or description
