IP Address Internet Protocol address. The IP address is associated, by
the network manager or network designer, to a specific
interface. The availability of IP addresses is controlled by
the IANA.
ISO International Organization for Standardization. The ISO
has developed a standard model on which network

Jitter D eg r a d a t i o n o f n e t wo r k s i g n a l s d u e t o a l o s s o f
synchronization of the electrical signals. Jitter is often a
result of passing a signal through too many repeaters.
LAN Local Area Network.
LANVIEW A system which relates diagnostic, troubleshooting, and
operational information pertaining to network devices
through the use of prominently displayed LEDs.
LDRAM Local Dynamic Random Access Memory
Leaf Object An end unit in a MIB tree. Leaf objects are accessed
through a series of branch groups. Leaf objects are
always individual MIBs.
LED Light Emitting Diode. A simple electronic light, used in
networking equipment to provide diagnostic indicators.
Also used as a light source for some fiber optic
communications equipment.
Load An indication of network utilization.
MAC Address Media Access Control address. The MAC address is
associated, usually at manufacture, with a specific
interface.
Mbps Megabits Per Second. Mbps indicates the number of
groups of 1000 bits of data that are being transmitted
through an operating network. Mbps can be roughly
assessed as a measure of the operational “speed” of the
network.
