Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. A protocol that associates a network adapter 
address (MAC address) with an Internet Protocol (IP) address.

Raster graphics describes an image as a pattern of dots, compared to vector graphics 
which represents an image as a geometrical formula. Each row of color dots in the mosaic 
of color dots constitutes one raster graphic. In a printer, a raster graphic is used as the 
master image from which a page is printed, because the image can be transferred to 
paper by printing one raster at a time.

This is a print application used with Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003. It can print at higher 
speeds than LPD.

The hardware and/or software functions of a printer that convert vector graphic 
descriptions from a computer into raster graphic images that can be printed.

The Scope ID is a character string value that is appended to the NetBIOS name, and is 
used for all NetBIOS over TCP/IP communications. It provides a way for a computer to 
communicate only with others sharing the same Scope ID.

Server Message Block. A protocol that provides file and printer sharing over a network for 
Windows computers.

Normally, a host has no control over the route taken by a packet it sends. Source routing is 
a technique whereby the sender of a packet can specify the route that a packet should 
take through the network to its destination.

Simultaneous Peripheral Operations On-Line. Spooling means putting jobs in a buffer, 
which is a special area in memory or on a disk. Because devices access data at different 
rates, the buffer provides a waiting station where the data can wait until the device for 
which it is meant is ready to access it.

SUBNETwork mask. The method used to determine which subgroup, or subnet, an IP 
address belongs to on TCP/IP networks, all devices whose IP addresses have the same 
prefix would belong to the same subnet. Dividing a network into subnets is useful for both 
security and performance reasons.
