TCP

See Transport Control Protocol (TCP).

TCP/IP

Acronym for Transport Control Protocol/Interface Program. The protocol suite originally developed for the Internet. It is also called the Internet protocol suite. Solaris networks run on TCP/IP by default.

Transport Control Protocol (TCP)

The major transport protocol in the Internet suite of protocols providing reliable, connection-oriented, full-duplex streams. Uses IP for delivery. See TCP/IP.

user context

In FNS (XFN), a context for naming objects related to a human user.

weak separation

An FNS (XFN) term referring to cases where the XFN context does not treat the XFN component separator as the naming system boundary.

wide-area network (WAN)

A network that connects multiple local-area networks (LANs) or systems at different geographical sites via phone, fiber-optic, or satellite links.

XFN link

In FNS (XFN), a special form of reference that has a composite name as an address. Like any other type of reference, an XFN link is bound to an atomic name in a context.

X.500

A global-level directory service defined by an Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) standard.
