AppleTalk

AppleTalk is a discontinued proprietary suite of networking protocols developed by Apple Computer for their Macintosh computers.

See Data Link Control and AppleTalk

Computer network

A computer network is a set of computers sharing resources located on or provided by network nodes.

See Data Link Control and Computer network

The data link layer, or layer 2, is the second layer of the seven-layer OSI model of computer networking.

See Data Link Control and Data link layer

Ethernet

Ethernet is a family of wired computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LAN), metropolitan area networks (MAN) and wide area networks (WAN).

See Data Link Control and Ethernet

Firmware

In computing, firmware is software that provides low-level control of computing device hardware.

See Data Link Control and Firmware

Hewlett-Packard

The Hewlett-Packard Company, commonly shortened to Hewlett-Packard or HP, was an American multinational information technology company headquartered in Palo Alto, California.

IBM

International Business Machines Corporation (using the trademark IBM), nicknamed Big Blue, is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Armonk, New York and present in over 175 countries.

See Data Link Control and IBM

Internet protocol suite

The Internet protocol suite, commonly known as TCP/IP, is a framework for organizing the set of communication protocols used in the Internet and similar computer networks according to functional criteria.

See Data Link Control and Internet protocol suite

JetDirect

HP Jetdirect is the name of a technology sold by Hewlett-Packard that allows computer printers to be directly attached to a local area network.

See Data Link Control and JetDirect

MAC address

A MAC address (short for media access control address) is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for use as a network address in communications within a network segment.

See Data Link Control and MAC address

Mainframe computer

A mainframe computer, informally called a mainframe or big iron, is a computer used primarily by large organizations for critical applications like bulk data processing for tasks such as censuses, industry and consumer statistics, enterprise resource planning, and large-scale transaction processing.

See Data Link Control and Mainframe computer

Network interface controller

A network interface controller (NIC, also known as a network interface card, network adapter, LAN adapter and physical network interface) is a computer hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network.

See Data Link Control and Network interface controller

OSI model

The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is a reference model from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that "provides a common basis for the coordination of standards development for the purpose of systems interconnection." In the OSI reference model, the communications between systems are split into seven different abstraction layers: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application.

See Data Link Control and OSI model

In computer networking, a print server, or printer server, is a type of server that connects printers to client computers over a network.

See Data Link Control and Print server

Systems Network Architecture

Systems Network Architecture (SNA) is IBM's proprietary networking architecture, created in 1974.

See Data Link Control and Systems Network Architecture

Transport layer

In computer networking, the transport layer is a conceptual division of methods in the layered architecture of protocols in the network stack in the Internet protocol suite and the OSI model.

See Data Link Control and Transport layer

Windows 2000

Windows 2000 is a major release of the Windows NT operating system developed by Microsoft and oriented towards businesses.

See Data Link Control and Windows 2000

Windows XP

Windows XP is a major release of Microsoft's Windows NT operating system.
