• Anycasting [r]: A technique for increasing load distribution and fault tolerance in networks with multiple copies of a read-only server function, but with the same unicast address. ^[e]
• Automatic Identification System [r]: A system, aboard ships and boats, that combines marine radio transmitters and receivers, Global Navigation Satellite System receivers, and computer control into a self-organizing, mobile network in which vessels are inform nearby traffic, potential collision hazards, and navigational information ^[e]

• Computer networking reference models [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Computer network [r]: A collection of computers or digital devices ("nodes") connected by communication links. ^[e]
• Computer [r]: A machine that executes a sequence of instructions. ^[e]
• Digital certificate [r]: A means by which the user of a public key can obtain it from a central repository, with high confidence that key is correct and has not been revoked ^[e]
• Forwarding plane [r]: Add brief definition or description
• HTML [r]: A set of tags for marking up the content of a web page into distinct sections. ^[e]
• Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers [r]: A.k.a. ICANN, the top-level international organization that directing the Domain Name System (DNS), Internet Protocol addresses, and other technical identifiers that must be unique for the proper operation of the Internet ^[e]
• Internet Protocol Suite [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Internet Protocol flow information export [r]: Methods to collect and report flow (Internet Protocol) statistics for network operations and management; tends to focus on traffic among network elements while Simple Network Management Protocol and syslog look inside the network elements ^[e]
• Internet Protocol version 6 [r]: The next-generation Internet Protocol, providing (among other benefits) a vastly increased address space (128bits), which should in turn provide the ability for an end-to-end Internet and allowing new models of communication to be developed. ^[e]
• Internet Protocol [r]: Highly resilient protocol for messages sent across the internet, first by being broken into smaller packets (each with the endpoint address attached), then moving among many mid-points by unpredictable routes, and finally being reassembled into the original message at the endpoint. IP version 4 (IPv4) is from 1980 but lacked enough addresses for the entire world and was superseded by IP version 6 (IPv6) in 1998. ^[e]
• Mobile ad hoc networking [r]: A family of mobile computing techniques in which not only the hosts move, sometimes at supersonic speed, but the routers and other devices organizing them into networks also move ^[e]

• North American Network Operators' Group [r]: A cooperative forum of Internet Service Provider and other North American parties involved in the detailed engineering practices required to make the Internet operate reliably, predictably, and efficiently ^[e]
• Open Shortest Path First traffic engineering extensions [r]: A set of extensions to the OSPF version 2 (i.e., for Internet Protocol version 4) routing protocol, intended to provide information for route computation that is optimized for creating overlays of Multi-Protocol Label Switching and Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching paths ^[e]
• Open Shortest Path First [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Request for Comments [r]: A Request for Comments (RFC) is one of a series of documents about the Internet, mostly technical, but some about policy issues; some become de facto Internet standards, which set the engineering specifications for the internals of the Internet, while many others languish largely or completely ignored. ^[e]
• Resource Reservation Protocol [r]: An end-to-end control (i.e., signaling) protocol used to reserve bandwidth from one edge of an Internet Protocol network to the other edge ^[e]
• Routing Policy Specification Language [r]: An IETF-standardized description language that allows the precise specification of relationships involved in the routing policies of the global Internet ^[e]
• Routing policy [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Routing protocol [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Secure Sockets Layer [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Self-organizing network [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Session Initiation Protocol [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Transaction processing [r]: Add brief definition or description
