-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Till now, I've left out all the IM protocols until we can sort out the issues surrounding them.
Tag: protocol::ident Description: Ident The Ident internet protocol helps to identify or authenticate the user of a network connection. . Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ident Tag: protocol::imap Description: IMAP Internet Message Access Protocol, a protocol used for accessing e-mail on a server from a e-mail client such as KMail or Evolution. . When using IMAP, e-mails stay on the server and can be categorized, edited, deleted etc. there, instead of having the user download all messages onto the local computer, as POP3 does. . Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Message_Access_Protocol Tag: protocol::ip Description: IP Internet Protocol (v4), the protocol that currently is the basis of the internet. . Every computer that is connected to the internet has an IP address (a 4-byte number, typically reprensented in dotted notation like 192.25.206.10). Internet IP addresses are given out by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). Normally, computers on the Internet are not accessed by their IP address, but by their domain name. . Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4 Link: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc791.txt Tag: protocol::ipv6 Description: IPv6 Internet Protocol (v6), the next-generation internet protocol, which overcomes the restrictions of IP (v4), like shortage of IP addresses, and is supposed to form the new basis of the internet in the future, replacing IP (v4). . Many programs already support IPv6 along with IP (v4), although it is still seldomly used. . Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6 Link: http://www.ipv6.org/ Tag: protocol::irc Description: IRC Internet Relay Chat, a protocol for text chatting over network, extensively used on the Internet. It supports chat rooms, so-called channels, as well as private, one-to-one communication. . IRC servers are organized in networks, so that a client can connect to a geographically near IRC server, that itself is connected to other IRC servers spread over the whole world. . The official Debian channel is #debian on the freenode network. . Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat Tag: protocol::jabber Description: Jabber The Jabber protocol is an instant messaging protocol on the basis of the XMPP protocol. Additionally to private one-to-one communication, it also supports chat rooms, and it is used in the Jabber IM network as well as for the IM capabilities for the new GoogleTalk network. . In contrast to other IM networks like MSN, ICQ or AIM, the Jabber servers are free software and can be used to create a private chat platform or have an own server to connect to the Jabber network. . Link: http://www.jabber.org Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabber Tag: protocol::kerberos Description: Kerberos Kerberos is a authentication protcol for computer networks for secure authentication over an otherwise insecure network, using symmetric cryptography and a third party service provider, that is trusted both by client and server. . The authentication mechanism provided by Kerberos is mutual, so that not only a server can be sure of a client's identity, but also a client can be sure a connection to a server is not intercepted. . Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerberos_%28protocol%29 Link: http://http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4120.txt Tag: protocol::lp Description: [obsolete, use protocol::lpr] LPR Tag: protocol::lpr Description: LPR The Line Printer Daemon protocol, a protocol used for accessing or providing network print services in a Unix network, but also used for local installations. . CUPS, the Common Unix Printing System, was developed to replace the old LPD/LPR system, while maintaining backwards compatibility. .
