free software library
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
an inter-router protocol for the configuration and management of redundancy for virtual routers
Secure Internet Live Conferencing protocol
protocol that provides secure synchronous conferencing services
Remote Shell
historical, unencrypted protocol for shell access over a network
LISTSERV
The term Listserv (styled by the registered trademark licensee, L-Soft International, Inc., as LISTSERV) has been used to refer to electronic mailing list software applications in general, but is more properly applied to a few early instances of such software, which allows a sender to send one email to a list, which then transparently sends it on to the addresses of the subscribers to the list.
IP multicast
IP networking technique for forwarding transmissions from one sender to multiple receivers
HMAC-based One-time Password Algorithm
password authentication algorithm
File eXchange Protocol
method of data transfer
Universal 2nd Factor
open standard for two-factor authentication (2FA) using specialized physical devices
Host Identity Protocol
Internet protocol
Micro Transport Protocol
an open UDP-based variant of the BitTorrent peer-to-peer file sharing protocol
DNSCrypt

Session Announcement Protocol
experimental protocol for broadcasting multicast session information
Internet Protocol Control Protocol
Network Control Protocol for establishing and configuring Internet Protocol over a Point-to-Point Protocol link
MS-CHAP
MS-CHAP is the Microsoft version of the Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol, (CHAP).
Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption
encryption technology
type-length-value
Within communication protocols, TLV (type-length-value or tag-length-value) is an encoding scheme used for informational elements. A TLV-encoded data stream contains code related to the record type, the record value's length, and finally the value itself.
Service Location Protocol
service discovery protocol that allows computers and other devices to find services in a local area network without prior configuration
WebTorrent
WebTorrent is a peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming torrent client written in JavaScript that enables BitTorrent functionality directly within web browsers. Created by Feross Aboukhadijeh, the developer behind YouTube Instant, WebTorrent implements the BitTorrent protocol using WebRTC for peer-to-peer data transfer, allowing users to download and stream torrents without requiring traditional torrent client software.
Reliable User Datagram Protocol
Internet protocol
WAN optimization
techniques for improving data transfer over wide-area networks
T.38
T.38 is an ITU recommendation for allowing transmission of fax over IP networks (FoIP) in real time.
Quote Of The Day
The Quote of the Day (QOTD) service is a member of the Internet protocol suite, defined in 1983 in RFC 865 by Jon Postel. As indicated there, the QOTD concept predated the specification, when QOTD was used by mainframe sysadmins to broadcast a daily quote on request by a user. It was then formally codified both for prior purposes as well as for testing and measurement purposes.
NETCONF

Path MTU Discovery
computer network protocol
service discovery
generic term for methods for discovering Network services.
connection-oriented communication
network mode where a semi-permanent session is set up before data transfer, and data is delivered in the order it was sent
Registration Data Access Protocol
computer network protocol
KAME project
IPv6 & IPsec stack for BSD derivatives
p0f
p0f is a passive TCP/IP stack fingerprinting tool. p0f can attempt to identify the system running on machines that send network traffic to the box it is running on, or to a machine that shares a medium with the machine it is running on. p0f can also assist in analysing other aspects of the remote system.
Proxy ARP
address resolution protocol for proxy servers
Veronica
search engine for the Gopher protocol
Reliable server pooling
Multicast Listener Discovery
computer network protocol
Traversal Using Relays around NAT
network protocol
Net-SNMP
Net-SNMP is a suite of software for using and deploying the SNMP protocol (v1, v2c and v3 and the AgentX subagent protocol). It supports IPv4, IPv6, IPX, AAL5, Unix domain sockets and other transports. It contains a generic client library, a suite of command line applications, a highly extensible SNMP agent, perl modules and python modules.
WBXML
WAP Binary XML (WBXML) is a binary representation of XML. It was developed by the WAP Forum and since 2002 is maintained by the Open Mobile Alliance as a standard to allow XML documents to be transmitted in a compact manner over mobile networks and proposed as an addition to the World Wide Web Consortium's Wireless Application Protocol family of standards. The MIME media type application/vnd.wap.wbxml has been defined for documents that use WBXML.
