• Data link protocol [r]: Protocol and administrative convention to manage the interaction of two or more devices connected to a common physical medium ^[e]
• Ethernet [r]: An early proprietary standard for local area networks developed by IEEE Project 802; the term has become generic for various connectors and communications techniques although the name of a standard would be more precise. ^[e]
• IEEE 1394 [r]: Also called FireWire, a standard interface between computers and peripherals ^[e]
