SAMBA
Samba is a program running under UNIX-like operating systems that provides seamless integration between UNIX
and Microsoft Windows machines. Samba acts as file and print servers for Microsoft Windows, IBM OS/2, and other
SMB client machines. Samba uses the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol and Common Internet File System
(CIFS), which is the underlying protocol used in Microsoft Windows networking.
Samba can be installed on a variety of operating system platforms, including Linux, most common Unix platforms,
OpenVMS, and IBM OS/2.
Samba can also register itself with the master browser on the network so that it would appear in the listing of hosts in
Microsoft Windows "Neighborhood Network".
SHA
SHA is an acronym for Secure Hash Algorithm. It designed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and published by
the NIST as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard. Hash algorithms compute a fixed-length digital
representation (known as a message digest) of an input data sequence (the message) of any length.
Shaper
A shaper can limit the bandwidth of transmitted frames. It is located after the ingress queues.
SMTP
SMTP is an acronym for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. It is a text-based protocol that uses the Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP) and provides a mail service modeled on the FTP file transfer service. SMTP transfers mail messages
between systems and notifications regarding incoming mail.
SNMP
SNMP is an acronym for Simple Network Management Protocol. It is part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol for network management. SNMP allow diverse network objects to participate in a network
management architecture. It enables network management systems to learn network problems by receiving traps or
change notices from network devices implementing SNMP.
SNTP
SNTP is an acronym for Simple Network Time Protocol, a network protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer
systems. SNTP uses UDP (datagrams) as transport layer.
SPROUT
S
tack Protocol using ROUting Technology. An advanced protocol for almost instantaneous discovery of topology
changes within a stack as well as election of a master switch. SPROUT also calculates parameters for setting up each
switch to perform shortest path forwarding within the stack.
SSID
S
ervice Set Identifier is a name used to identify the particular 802.11 wireless LANs to which a user wants to attach. A
client device will receive broadcast messages from all access points within range advertising their SSIDs, and can
choose one to connect to based on pre-configuration, or by displaying a list of SSIDs in range and asking the user to
select one (wikipedia).
SSH
between two networked devices. The encryption used by SSH provides confidentiality and integrity of data over an
insecure network. The goal of SSH was to replace the earlie
strong authentication or guarantee confidentiality (Wikipedia).
SSM
STP
S
panning Tree Protocol is an OSI layer-2 protocol which ensures a loop free topology for any bridged LAN. The
original STP protocol is now obsoleted by RSTP.
