Introduction CD/TURBOIP45.IOM
1–2
Term Meaning
the event of a failure.
Frame A link layer PDU.
Gateway A network device used to perform protocol conversions at a specific protocol layer
to interconnect dissimilar networks.
HTTP (Hyper Test
Transfer Protocol) Protocol standard for web access.
kbps (kilobits per
second) A rate of 1,000 bits per second.
LAN (Local Area
Network) On the turboIP-45, this refers to the Ethernet port that would be attached to the
LAN.
MB (Megabytes) 1,048,576 Bytes (Octets).
Mbps (Megabits per
second) A rate of 1,000,000 bits per second.
Management IP The IP assigned to the turboIP-45 for management via HTTP or SNMP. On the
turbo
IP-45, both the LAN and WAN port can be accessed by the Management IP.
ms (millisecond) A rate of 0.001 second.
Octet Eight bits (see Byte).
PDU (Protocol Data
Unit) The messages sent between peer entities in a protocol. The PDU includes headers
generated or consumed by the protocol implementation as well as the data portion
carried by the entity. A PDU may be segmented by a lower layer protocol.
RTT (Round Trip
Time) The elapsed time (in milliseconds) for traffic to be sent from one host and a
response received by the sending host.
Selective Acceleration The ability to provide a different quality of service to different datagrams. The term
‘Selective Acceleration’ actually applies to all types of IPv4 traffic, not just to
accelerated sessions.
Session A single bi-directional TCP connection between two end systems (hosts)
SkipWare® SCPS-TP compliant layer-4 gateway software developed by Global Protocols.
SkipWare also provides many of the gateway (GW) functions of the turboIP-45
software. Skipware does NOT include management interfaces (i.e., SNMP, CLI<
HTTP, etc.), GPOS, and some other turboIP-45 software.
SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol.
turbo IP-45 ™
hardware
The hardware platform provided by Comtech on which the turboIP-45 software
executes.
WAN (Wide Area
Network) On the turboIP-45, this refers to the Ethernet port that would be physically attached
to the outbound satellite equipment.
