| asymmetrical transmission | asymmetrische Übertragung (A form of transmission used by high-speed modems, typically those that operate at rates of 9600 bps or more, that allows simultaneous incoming and outgoing transmission by dividing a telephone line bandwidth into two channels: one in the range of 300 to 450 bps and one at a speed of 9600 bps or more) |
| asynchronous transmission | asynchrone Übertragung (In modem communication, a form of data transmission in which data is sent intermittently, one character at a time, rather than in a steady stream with characters separated by fixed time intervals. Asynchronous transmission relies on the use of a start bit and stop bit(s), in addition to the bits representing the character (and an optional parity bit), to distinguish separate characters) |
| Data Center Transmission Control Protocol | Data Center Transmission Control-Protokoll (A TCP-like protocol for data center networks which leverages Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) in the network to provide multi-bit feedback to the end hosts) |
| Maximum Transmission Unit | maximale Übertragungseinheit (The largest packet of data that can be transmitted on a network. MTU size varies, depending on the network--576 bytes on X.25 networks, for example, 1500 bytes on Ethernet, and 17,914 bytes on 16 Mbps Token Ring. Responsibility for determining the size of the MTU lies with the link layer of the network. When packets are transmitted across networks, the path MTU, or PMTU, represents the smallest packet size (the one that all networks can transmit without breaking up the packet) among the networks involved) |
| serial transmission | serielle Übertragung (The transfer of discrete signals one after another. In communications and data transfer, serial transmission involves sending information over a single line one bit at a time, as in modem-to-modem connections) |
| Transmission Control Protocol | Transmission Control-Protokoll (The protocol within TCP/IP that governs the breakup of data messages into packets to be sent via IP, and the reassembly and verification of the complete messages from packets received by IP) |
| Transmission Level 3 | Übertragungsebene 3 (A U.S. telephone standard for a transmission facility at digital signal level 3 (DS3). T3 is equivalent in bandwidth to 28 T1s, and the bit rate is 44.736 megabits per second. T3 is sometimes called a 45-meg circuit) |
| Transmission Level 1 | Übertragungsebene 1 (A U.S. telephone standard for a transmission facility at digital signal level 1 (DS1) with 1.544 megabits per second in North America and 2.048 megabits per second in Europe. The bit rate is the equivalent bandwidth of approximately twenty-four 56-kilobits-per-second lines. A T1 circuit is capable of serving a minimum of 48 modems at 28.8 kilobits per second or 96 modems at 14.4 kilobits per second. T1 circuits are also used for voice telephone connections. A single T1 line carries 24 telephone connections with 24 telephone numbers. When it is used for voice transmission, a T1 connection must be split into 24 separate circuits) |
