Bandwidth (computing)

In computing, bandwidth is the maximum rate of data transfer across a given path.

Best-effort delivery

Best-effort delivery describes a network service in which the network does not provide any guarantee that data is delivered or that delivery meets any quality of service.

Commercial Internet eXchange

The Commercial Internet eXchange (CIX) was an early interexchange point that allowed the free exchange of TCP/IP traffic, including commercial traffic, between ISPs.

Data-rate units

In telecommunications, data-transfer rate is the average number of bits (bitrate), characters or symbols (baudrate), or data blocks per unit time passing through a communication link in a data-transmission system.

Default route

In computer networking, the default route is a setting on a computer that defines the packet forwarding rule to use when no specific route can be determined for a given Internet Protocol (IP) destination address.

Downstream (networking)

In a telecommunications network or computer network, downstream refers to data sent from a network service provider to a customer.

Federal Internet Exchange

Federal Internet Exchange (FIX) points were policy-based network peering points where U.S. federal agency networks, such as the National Science Foundation Network (NSFNET), NASA Science Network (NSN), Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), and MILNET were interconnected.

Internet exchange point

An Internet exchange point (IX or IXP) is the physical infrastructure through which Internet service providers (ISPs) and content delivery networks (CDNs) exchange Internet traffic between their networks (autonomous systems).

Internet service provider

An Internet service provider (ISP) is an organization that provides services for accessing, using, or participating in the Internet.

Network access point

A Network Access Point (NAP) was a public network exchange facility where Internet service providers (ISPs) connected with one another in peering arrangements.

Peering

In computer networking, peering is a voluntary interconnection of administratively separate Internet networks for the purpose of exchanging traffic between the users of each network.

Routing

Routing is the process of selecting a path for traffic in a network, or between or across multiple networks.

Service-level agreement

A service-level agreement (SLA) is a commitment between a service provider and a client.

Tier 1 network

A Tier 1 network is an Internet Protocol (IP) network that can reach every other network on the Internet solely via settlement-free interconnection, also known as settlement-free peering.

Upstream (networking)

In computer networking, upstream refers to the direction in which data can be transferred from the client to the server (uploading).
