F
filter
A filter is an intermediate connection point that performs a processing operation on
data passing through a mediation connection. A telnet filter is a telnet session to a
device that does not support Telnet, such as a craft port on an NE, to function
smoothly.
flow control
Flow control allows a receiving device to tell a sending device to stop sending data
when the data comes in faster than the receiver can process it and to start sending it
when the receiver is ready.
forward delay
Forward delay defines the amount of time a controller participating in a bridge group
that is running the spanning tree protocol (STP) spends in the listening state before
entering the learning state, the amount of time a controller spends in the learning
state before entering the forwarding state, and the aging time for dynamic entries in
the filtering database during a network topology change.
framing
Framing is an error control procedure with multiplexed digital channels, such as T1,
where bits are inserted so that the receiver can identify the timeslots that are
allocated to each subchannel. Refer to the Remote RMX-3200 Command Reference
Guide for information on the framing formats Remote RMX-3200 utilizes.
FTP
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a communications protocol that governs the transfer of
files from one computer to another over a network.
