NAT | See network address translation. |
network | Technically, the hardware connecting various computer systems enabling them to communicate. Informally, the systems so connected. |
network address | The IP address used to specify a network. |
network address translation | NAT. Network address translation typically involves the mapping of port numbers to allow multiple machines (Sun Ray Clients in this case, but not Sun Ray servers) to share a single IP address. |
network interface | An access point to a computer system on a network. Each interface is associated with a physical device. However, a physical device can have multiple network interfaces. |
network interface card | NIC. The hardware that links a workstation or server to a network device. |
network latency | The time delay associated with moving information through a network. Interactive applications such as voice, video displays and multimedia applications are sensitive to these delays. |
network mask | A number used by software to separate the local subnet address from the rest of a given Internet protocol address. An example of a network mask for a class C network is 255.255.255.0. |
network protocol stack | A network suite of protocols organized in a hierarchy of layers called a stack. TCP/IP is an example of a Sun Ray protocol stack. |
NIC | Network interface card. |
non-smart card mobility | A mobile session on a Sun Ray Client that does not rely on a smart card. NSCM requires a policy that allows pseudo-token. |
