time t
(foldoc) | time T
/ti:m T/ An unspecified but usually well-understood time,
often used in conjunction with a later time T+1. "We'll meet
on campus at time T or at Louie's at time T+1" means, in the
context of going out for dinner: "We can meet on campus and go
to Louie's, or we can meet at Louie's itself a bit later."
(Louie's was a Chinese restaurant in Palo Alto that was a
favourite with hackers.) Had the number 30 been used instead
of the number 1, it would have implied that the travel time
from campus to Louie's is 30 minutes; whatever time T is (and
that hasn't been decided on yet), you can meet half an hour
later at Louie's than you could on campus and end up eating at
the same time.
See also since time T equals minus infinity.

mean time to recovery
(foldoc) | Mean Time To Recovery
MTTR
(MTTR) The average time that a device will
take to recover from a non-terminal failure. Examples of such
devices range from self-resetting fuses (where the MTTR would
be very short, probably seconds), up to whole systems which
have to be replaced.
The MTTR would usually be part of a maintenance contract,
where the user would pay more for a system whose MTTR was 24
hours, than for one of, say, 7 days. This means the supplier
is guaranteeing to have the system up and running again within
24 hours (or 7 days) of being notified of the failure.
Some devices have a MTTR of zero, which means that they have
redundant components which can take over the instant the
primary one fails, see RAID for example.
See also Mean Time Between Failures.

real-time transport protocol
(foldoc) | Real-Time Transport Protocol
RTP
(RTP) An Internet protocol for transmitting
real-time data such as audio and video. RTP itself does
not guarantee real-time delivery of data, but it does provide
mechanisms for the sending and receiving applications to
support streaming data. Typically, RTP runs on top of the
UDP protocol, although the specification is general enough
to support other transport protocols.
RTP has received wide industry support. Netscape intends to
base its LiveMedia technology on RTP, and Microsoft claims
that its NetMeeting product supports RTP.

run-time type information
(foldoc) | Run-Time Type Information
(RTTI) Facilities included in C++ compilers to
allow the type of an object to be determined at run time.
This facility, found in good C++ compilers and some other
high level languages, adds type information to memory
resident objects (i.e. type name or unique type-id). This
allows the run-time system to determine if an object is of a
specific type, for example, to ensure that a cast of an
object is valid.
