• ATM (disambiguation) [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Bulk encryption [r]: The encipherment of all traffic on a digital transmission medium, without awareness of multiplexed channels, data link protocols, etc., in the medium. ^[e]
• Computer networking reference models [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Datagram [r]: A self-contained unit of data, containing a source and destination address analogous to a letter, which can be efficiently forwarded by routers ^[e]
• Defense Information Systems Network [r]: The shared Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) terrestrial digital communications system for the U.S. military, onto which are layered routed networks such as NIPRNET, SIPRNET and JWICS ^[e]
• FASTLANE [r]: A family of U.S. National Security Agency approved encryption devices for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) and Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) transmission systems ^[e]
• Forwarding information base [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Frame relay [r]: A layer 2 digital data transmission system, used for low to medium speed permanent connection in the wide area, and beginning to be replaced by MPLS ^[e]
• Internet Protocol [r]: Highly resilient protocol for messages sent across the internet, first by being broken into smaller packets (each with the endpoint address attached), then moving among many mid-points by unpredictable routes, and finally being reassembled into the original message at the endpoint. IP version 4 (IPv4) is from 1980 but lacked enough addresses for the entire world and was superseded by IP version 6 (IPv6) in 1998. ^[e]
• Man-in-the-middle attack [r]: An attack on a communications system in which the attacker deceives the communicating parties so they both talk to him while believing they are talking to each other. ^[e]
• Multi-Protocol Label Switching [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Nonbroadcast Multiaccess [r]: A technique, in computer networks, where a group of "spoke" devices all connect to a common "hub", but the spokes cannot broadcast or multicast to one another ^[e]
• Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model [r]: ISO standard that describes a layered approach to designing computer networks ^[e]
• Packet [r]: A unit of information transferred between intermediate switches or routers in a packet-based communication system; the most basic differentiation of packets are whether they contain full source and destination addresses (i.e., are datagrams) or have only the identifier of a connection, which the intermediate device needs to look up to find the destination and take a second step to decide where to forward the packet ^[e]
• SIPRNET [r]: The shared United States Department of Defense network that carries the bulk of classified information, limited to a security classification of SECRET. ^[e]
• Virtual private network [r]: The emulation of a private Wide Area Network (WAN) facility using IP facilities, including the public Internet or private IP backbones. ^[e]
• Warfighter Information Network–Tactical [r]: Deployed in several increments of increasing capability, this is the partially deplyed tactical communications system for the U.S. Army, which have far more bandwidth and is becoming a mobile "on the move" self-organizing network; sometimes called the "tactical internet" Through the Army Battle Command System, it interfaces to the Global Information Grid. ^[e]
