GERAN

GERAN is the radio part of GSM/EDGE together with the network that joins the base stations (the Ater and Abis interfaces) and the base station controllers (A interfaces, etc.) The network represents the core of a GSM network, through which phone calls and packet data are routed from and to the PSTN and Internet to and from subscriber handsets.

History of Margate

However, Sir Rowland Hill (creator of the 1840 Penny Post), while in Thanet during 1815, remarked: "It is surprising to see how most people are prejudiced against this packet."

IP fragmentation

In a case where a router receives a protocol data unit (PDU) larger than the next hop's MTU, it has two options if the transport is IPv4: drop the PDU and send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) message which indicates the condition Packet too Big, or fragment the IP packet and send it over the link with a smaller MTU.

Louis Pouzin

Louis Pouzin (born 1931 in Chantenay-Saint-Imbert, Nièvre, France) invented the datagram and designed an early packet communications network, CYCLADES.

Media Delivery Index

Packet delays can be caused by multiple facts, among which there are the way traffic is routed through the infrastructure and possible differences between link speeds in the infrastructure.

Minnesota Centennial Showboat

Captain Bill Bowell of Padelford Packet Boat Company indicates interest in the project, while Saint Paul Mayor Norm Coleman announces plans for Showboat's permanent home at Harriet Island Regional Park.

1989, he developed a Wick-rotated version of Richard Feynman's quantum path integral formalism for analyzing performance degradation in large-scale computer systems and packet networks.

Optical disc recording technologies

Several competing and incompatible packet writing disk formats have been developed, including DirectCD and InCD.

Packet loss

Most basic networking equipment will use FIFO queuing for packets waiting to go through the bottleneck and they will drop the packet if the queue is full at the time the packet is received.

Packet Newspapers

The earliest, founded in 1801, was the Cornwall Gazette & Falmouth Packet, which lasted under that title for less than two years when the proprietor, one Thomas Flindell (1767-1824), was imprisoned for debt.

Packet switching

In 1978, X.25 provided the first international and commercial packet switching network, the International Packet Switched Service (IPSS).

Pen-Link

Their products the Pen-Link 8 and LINCOLN 2 provide complete systems for electronic surveillance of nearly any form of electronic communications, including wire line, wireless, satellite, VoIP, Voice over Packet and 3G communication including Push-to-Talk, instant messaging, chat, e-mails, and web traffic.

Personal Digital Cellular

The services include voice (full and half-rate), supplementary services (call waiting, voice mail, three-way calling, call forwarding, and so on), data service (up to 9.6 kbit/s CSD), and packet-switched wireless data (up to 28.8 kbit/s PDC-P).

Post Office Packet Service

At the start of the War of 1812, Joshua Barney in the American privateer Rossie captured the mail packet Princess Amelia after a short but intense fight on 16 September 1812.

Protocol spoofing

Error correction and file transfer protocols typically work by calculating a checksum or CRC for a block of data known as a packet, and transmitting the resulting number at the end of the packet.

PS Medway Queen

Trialled on the River Clyde, she was delivered to be part of the "Queen Line" fleet of the New Medway Steam Packet Company based at Rochester, Kent.

RIGblaster Nomic

When used in conjunction with appropriate software, it allows the operator to transmit and receive using many digital modes, including packet, PSK31, and RTTY.

RMON

# Filter: defines packet data patterns of interest e.g. MAC address or TCP port

Robotech: Battlecry

The latter came in a silver box with the game and included a packet of 3" X 5" cards of character concept art from the game drawn by Tommy Yune, a lenticular card depicting a Veritech fighter in action, a Battlecry t-shirt vacuum packed into a disc-shaped tin with card RDF logo on top, the game's soundtrack on CD and a specially numbered Jack Archer dogtag.

Samuel Rowland Fisher

Fisher's father Joshua moved the family to Philadelphia in 1746 and established a home and large mercantile business at 110 S Front St., soon after starting the first packet line of ships to sail regularly between Philadelphia and London.

System Packet Interface

Another application of this interface might be between a packet processor ASIC and a traffic manager device.

Wheat Crunchies

The packet promises that the product is free from any artificial colours or flavours and contains no MSG.

Windows Media Video

It improves compression efficiency for interlaced content and is made transport-independent, making it able to be encapsulated in an MPEG transport stream or RTP packet format.

PACTOR, WINMOR, HSMM (WiFi), AX.25 packet, D-Star, TCP/IP, and ALE are non proprietary protocols used in various RF applications to access the Winlink network systems.

Xerox Network Systems

Sequenced Packet Protocol (SPP) was an acknowledged transport protocol, analogous to TCP; one chief technical difference is that the sequence numbers count the packets, and not the bytes as in TCP and PUP's BSP; it was the direct antecedent to Novell's IPX/SPX.
