In DTP TMs and RMs use this protocol with presumed rollback. That is, if something goes
wrong the TM and RMs involved in the transaction will always attempt to rollback their portion
of the transaction (work). It ensures the atomicity (ACID) of a transaction.
In phase one, the TM asks all RMs if they are ready and able to commit a transaction. If a RM net, program
responds negatively, the RM will automatically rollback any work it performed on behalf of the
transaction and discard any knowledge it had of the transaction. In phase two, the TM
determines if there are any negative replies, and if so, instructs all RMs to rollback. If all
replies are positive, it will instruct the RMs to commit.

convert signals for transmission. It is typically the modem. Contrast with DTE.
OSF's specification for the core services (sometimes called middleware) needed for crossplatform (that is, computers with different hardware and OSs) distributed computing (which is
more trendily called a client/server environment).
Formerly called Network OLE, it is Microsoft's technology for distributed objects. DCOM is
based on COM, which defines the object interfaces. It uses RPCs.

Internet Protocol Security Option
Internet-Protokoll-Sicherheitsoption
A further stage of an network IDS that sits inline on a network and blocks attacks, similar to a
firewall except it reacts by using IDS signatures to accept or deny access.
A security protocol from the IETF that provides authentication and encryption over the
Internet. Unlike SSL, which provides services at layer 4 and secures two applications, IPSec
works at layer 3 and secures everything in the network. It is supported by IPv6.
Refers to one of three types of IP security options, which are fields that may be added to an
IP datagram for the purpose of carrying security information about the datagram.

The currently used version of the Internet Protocol (see IP). [RFC 791]
The next generation Internet protocol completed in 1997 by the IETF. It is backward
compatible with and is designed to fix the shortcomings of current IPv4, such as data security
and maximum number of user addresses. [RFC 2460 ff, {2401 ff}] (www.ipv6.org)
A network layer protocol used by the Novell NetWare OSs. Like UDP/IP, IPX is a datagram
protocol used for connectionless communications. Higher-level protocols, such as SPX and
NCP, are used for additional error recovery services.
This part of the electromagnetic spectrum has wavelengths longer than the visible light, but
shorter than radio waves. It may be used for short-distance data transmission.
