    See Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).

  • TCP/IP
    See Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

  • Telnet
    The Internet standard protocol for remote terminal connection service. Telnet allows a user to interact with the remote computer as if the user was on a terminal directly connected to the remote computer.

  • Time to Live (TTL)
    A standard field in a TCP/IP header that indicates an age-of-expiration value that is examined by receiving hosts. Data with active TTL values is maintained and forwarded on the network; data with expired TTL values is discarded.

  • Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
    The Internet standard transport protocol that provides the reliable, two-way connected service that allows an application to send a stream of data end-to-end between two computers across a network. The Internet protocol suite is often called TCP/IP.

  • Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
    A family of networking protocols that allows computers with diverse hardware architectures and various operating systems to communicate across interconnected networks and the Internet. TCP/IP includes standards for how computers communicate and conventions for connecting networks and routing traffic. Every computer on the Internet supports TCP/IP.

  • Transport Layer Security (TLS)
    An Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard cryptographic protocol that provides endpoint authentication and ensures confidentiality by encrypting the segments of network connections in the application layer to guarantee secure end-to-end transit in the transport layer. TLS is intended to replace SSL.

  • TTL
    See Time to Live (TTL).

  • tunneling
    See Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP).
