T

TCP/IP

An abbreviation for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, an industry-standard protocol suite for wide area networks (WANs) developed in the 1970s and 1980s by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). TCP/IP is a routable protocol that is suitable for connecting dissimilar systems (such as Microsoft Windows and UNIX) in heterogeneous networks, and it is the protocol of the worldwide network known as the Internet. Microsoft’s implementation of TCP/IP supports industry standards, and TCP/IP is implemented for all Windows operating systems.

Telnet

A standard TCP/IP protocol for running programs on remote hosts. The term "telnet" also refers to the software (client or server component) that implements this protocol on a particular platform or system. Telnet is defined in Request for Comments (RFC) 854.

TFTP

An abbreviation for Trivial File Transfer Protocol, a TCP/IP file transfer protocol. TFTP differs from the popular File Transfer Protocol (FTP) in that it does not support any form of authentication. TFTP is defined in Request for Comments (RFC) 1350.

Thicknet

The coaxial cabling used in standard Ethernet or 10Base5 networking. Thicknet coaxial cabling is usually 3/8 inch in diameter. It is fairly rigid, has an impedance of 50 ohms, and can carry signals up to 500 meters (1640 feet)—hence the designation 10Base5 for "10-Mbps baseband transmission over 500 meters."

Thinnet

The thin coaxial cabling used for 10Base2 installations of Ethernet networking. Thinnet cabling is RG-58 coaxial cabling that is 3/16 inch in diameter and has an impedance of 50 ohms. Thinnet uses BNC connectors to connect cable segments, computers, and concentrators (hubs). Many older hubs, bridges, routers, and other networking devices have at least one thinnet port for connecting to 10Base2 networks. Thinnet was often used in the 1980s for workgroup or departmental local area networks (LANs); it has largely been replaced by unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling.

Token Ring

A popular local area network (LAN) technology developed by IBM that still has a large installed base in many shops but has been greatly outpaced in recent years by different forms of Ethernet. Token Ring was standardized in the IEEE 802.5 specifications, which describe the implementation of a token-passing ring network configured as a physical star topology

Tunneling

A technology for sending frames from one network to another. In tunneling, frames from the source network are encapsulated in the frame format of a different protocol and then sent over the link, called a tunnel. Frames are unencapsulated at the destination network and forwarded to their destination node.

Tunneling technologies include the following:

  • Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) tunneling over Internet Protocol (IP) internetworks, which allows IPX packets to be encapsulated in an IP packet and routed over the TCP/IP internetwork until they reach the destination local area network (LAN), where they are unwrapped into IPX packets. This process permits NetWare clients and servers using IPX to communicate over a TCP/IP internetwork.
  • Systems Network Architecture (SNA) tunneling over IP internetworks.
  • Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP).
  • Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP).
