networking
Hardware and software data communication systems.
The OSI seven layer model attempts to provide a way of
partitioning any computer network into independent modules
from the lowest (physical) layer to the highest (application)
layer. Many different specifications exist at each of these
layers.
Networks are often also classified according to their
geographical extent: local area network (LAN), {metropolitan
area network} (man), wide area network (wan) and also attack
a cn to the protocols used.
See BITNET, Ethernet, Internet, Novell, PSTN,
network, the.

home phoneline networking alliance
(foldoc) | Home Phoneline Networking Alliance
HomePNA
(HomePNA) A
non-profit association of more than 100 technology companies
working together to ensure adoption of a phone line
networking standard which should provide high-speed,
affordable home networking.
The Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HomePNA) was founded
in June 1998 by 3Com, AMD, AT&T Wireless Services,
Compaq, Conexant, Epigram, Hewlett-Packard, IBM,
Intel, Lucent Technologies, Rockwell Semiconductor
Systems, and Tut Systems. The membership now spans the
networking, telecommunications, hardware, software, and
consumer electronics industries.
The alliance was originally formed because of the increasing
demand for home networking caused by the growing number of
homes with multiple PCs (and other devices) to connect
together to provide facilities such as shared Internet
access, networked gaming, and sharing of peripherals,
files and applications.
The member companies aimed to develop open standards to
ensure compatibility between different manufacturers'
products. They also decided that this should be done using
the phone wiring that already existed in people's homes. The
concept of "no new wires" networking meant installation was
simpler.
HomePNA's original specifications could be used to create a 1
Mbps (megabits per second) Ethernet-compatible LAN with
no hubs, routers, splitters or terminations. Adapters
would allow any computer (or other device) with an Ethernet
port to be linked to the home network. Up to 25 PCs,
peripherals and network devices can be connected to such a
network.
On 1999-12-01, the HomePNA announced a new release of its
networking technology specification, called Home PNA 2.0.
Like the first specification, it uses existing phone lines,
but it can operate at speeds up to 10 Mbps. The new version
is backwardly compatible with the original 1 Mbps HomePNA
technology, and is designed to provide faster networks
suitable for future voice, video and data applications.

microsoft networking
(foldoc) | Microsoft Networking
Microsoft's name for the networking subsystems
of Windows 95 and later. Not to be confused with {The
Microsoft Network}.
Microsoft networking uses the SMB file sharing protocol. It
is implemented as file system drivers i.e. "{installable file
systems}" (IFS).
The network redirector "Client for Microsoft Networks", is
implemented in the VREDIR.VXD virtual device driver. Peer
resource sharing is provided by "File and Printer Sharing for
Microsoft Networks" (VSERVER.VXD).
Windows 95's support for Netware (NCP) networks is
provided in a similar way via NWREDIR.VXD and NWSERVER.VXD.

social networking
(foldoc) | social network
social networking
Any website designed to allow multiple
users to publish content themselves. The information may be
on any subject and may be for consumption by (potential)
friends, mates, employers, employees, etc. The sites
typically allow users to create a "profile" describing
themselves and to exchange public or private messages and list
other users or groups they are connected to in some way.
There may be editorial content or the site may be entirely
user-driven. Content may include text, images
(e.g. (http://flickr.com/)), video
(e.g. (http://youtube.com/)) or any other media.
Social networks on the the web are a natural extension of
mailing lists and buletin boards. They are related to
wikis like (http://wikipedia.org/) but typically do not
allow users to modify content once it has been submitted,
though usually you can publish comments on others'
submissions.
Different sites have different emphasis. For example,
(http://friendsreunited.co.uk/) (one of the earliest such
sites) focusses on listing former acquaintances;
(http://myspace.com/) is music-oriented;
(http://linkedin.com/) aims to connect business partners;
(http://del.icio.us/), (http://stumbleupon.com/) and
(http://digg.com/) are for exchanging links to favouirite
websites. There are many more.
Sometimes the social aspects are a side-effect of bringing
together people with shared interests,
e.g. (http://slashdot.org/) (IT), other times they become
more important than the original purpose,
e.g. (http://worldofwarcraft.com/) (fantasy gaming).
