High Performance Addressing (HPA): This is a form of passive matrix LCD display that improves the response time of the display. HPA screens still suffer from the same contrast problems that make passive matrix inferior to active matrix TFT LCD screens. Router: A router connects networks together, controlling the routing of packets from source to destination and providing alternate paths when necessary. Routers are more sophisticated than bridges, connecting networks of different types (for example, star and token ring), and making logical routing decisions on the basis of available data. Typically a router hands off packets to another router along the path until the destination is reached. Honeypot:
This is a system left open and unprotected to entice hackers to break
into it. Usually this is done so that system administrators can
monitor the system and the methods used to break in. |
