Narrowband ISDN.
Narrowband ISDN is another name for ISDN. Narrowband ISDN offers a smaller bandwidth than the Broadband ISDN services, such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and Switched Multimegabit Data Services (SMDS).
NetBEUI (NetBIOS Extended User Interface).
Microsoft's extended version of NetBIOS is called NetBEUI. It is a protocol that governs data exchange and network access. Because NetBEUI does not provide a Network layer, it cannot be routed in a network, which makes building large internetworks of NetBEUI-based networks problematic .
NetBIOS (Network Basic Input Output System).
NetBIOS is a networking API developed by IBM that allows programs to access the network and exchange data. Because NetBIOS does not provide Network-layer services, it cannot be routed in a network, which makes building large internetworks of NetBIOS-based networks problematic. Examples of NetBIOS-based NOSs include IBM LAN Server and Artisoft LANtastic.
NetWare Loadable Module (NLM).
An NLM is an application that runs on the NetWare server and coexists with the core NetWare operating system. NLMs provide better performance than applications that run outside the core .
NetWare.
NetWare is Novell's network operating system. NetWare uses IPX/SPX, NetBIOS, or TCP/IP network protocols. It supports DOS, Windows, OS/2, Macintosh, and Unix clients . NetWare versions 4.x and 3.x are 32-bit operating systems; NetWare 2.2 is a 16-bit operating system.
Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS).
NDIS is a specification, developed by Microsoft and 3Com, for generic device drivers for adapter cards used by LAN Manager and subsequent Microsoft network operating systems.
Network File System (NFS).
NFS is Sun Microsystems' file-sharing protocol that works over TCP/IP.
network interface card (NIC).
A network interface card is the adapter card that plugs into computers and includes the electronics and software so the station can communicate over the network.
Network layer.
The third layer of the OSI model is the Network layer, and it governs data routing. Examples of Network-layer protocols are IP and IPX.
network operating system (NOS).
A network operating system is the software that runs on a file server that governs access to the files and resources of the network by multiple users. Examples of NOSs include Banyan's VINES, Novell's NetWare, and IBM's LAN Server.
network.
A network is a system of computers, hardware, and software that is connected, and over which data, files, and messages can be transmitted and end users communicate. Networks may be local or wide area.
network-aware application.
A network-aware application knows that it is running on a network and has file- and record-locking features.
network-ignorant application.
A network-ignorant application has no knowledge that it is running on a network. It lacks file and record locking, and cannot guarantee data integrity in a multiuser environment.
network-intrinsic application.
A network-intrinsic application knows it is running on a network and takes advantage of a network's distributed intelligence. For example, a client-server database is a LAN-intrinsic application.
noise.
Noise is sporadic, irregular, or multifrequency electrical signals that are superimposed on a desired signal.
