Topologie de réseau

vignette Une topologie de réseau informatique correspond à l'architecture (physique, logicielle ou logique) de celui-ci, définissant les liaisons entre les équipements du réseau et une hiérarchie éventuelle entre eux. Elle peut définir la façon dont les équipements sont interconnectés et la représentation spatiale du réseau (topologie physique). Elle peut aussi définir la façon dont les données transitent dans les lignes de communication (topologies logiques).

Interrupt handler

In computer systems programming, an interrupt handler, also known as an interrupt service routine or ISR, is a special block of code associated with a specific interrupt condition. Interrupt handlers are initiated by hardware interrupts, software interrupt instructions, or software exceptions, and are used for implementing device drivers or transitions between protected modes of operation, such as system calls. The traditional form of interrupt handler is the hardware interrupt handler.

Single-mode optical fiber

In fiber-optic communication, a single-mode optical fiber (SMF), also known as fundamental- or mono-mode, is an optical fiber designed to carry only a single mode of light - the transverse mode. Modes are the possible solutions of the Helmholtz equation for waves, which is obtained by combining Maxwell's equations and the boundary conditions. These modes define the way the wave travels through space, i.e. how the wave is distributed in space. Waves can have the same mode but have different frequencies.

Multiplexage

thumb|Principe du multiplexage Le multiplexage est une technique qui consiste à faire passer plusieurs informations à travers un seul support de transmission. Elle permet de partager une même ressource entre plusieurs utilisateurs. Il existe deux techniques principales de multiplexage : temporelle fréquentielle (ou, ce qui revient au même, en longueur d'onde). Le multiplexage est apparu et s'est développé avec la télégraphie.

Optical Distribution Network

An access network is a type of telecommunications network which connects subscribers to their immediate service provider. It is contrasted with the core network, which connects local providers to one another. The access network may be further divided between feeder plant or distribution network, and drop plant or edge network. An access network, also referred to as an outside plant, refers to the series of wires, cables and equipment lying between a consumer/business telephone termination point (the point at which a telephone connection reaches the customer) and the local telephone exchange.

Interrupt vector table

An interrupt vector table (IVT) is a data structure that associates a list of interrupt handlers with a list of interrupt requests in a table of interrupt vectors. Each entry of the interrupt vector table, called an interrupt vector, is the address of an interrupt handler(also known as ISR). While the concept is common across processor architectures, IVTs may be implemented in architecture-specific fashions. For example, a dispatch table is one method of implementing an interrupt vector table.

Multi-mode optical fiber

Multi-mode optical fiber is a type of optical fiber mostly used for communication over short distances, such as within a building or on a campus. Multi-mode links can be used for data rates up to 100 Gbit/s. Multi-mode fiber has a fairly large core diameter that enables multiple light modes to be propagated and limits the maximum length of a transmission link because of modal dispersion. The standard G.651.1 defines the most widely used forms of multi-mode optical fiber.

Non-maskable interrupt

In computing, a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) is a hardware interrupt that standard interrupt-masking techniques in the system cannot ignore. It typically occurs to signal attention for non-recoverable hardware errors. Some NMIs may be masked, but only by using proprietary methods specific to the particular NMI. An NMI is often used when response time is critical or when an interrupt should never be disabled during normal system operation.

Programmable interrupt controller

In computing, a programmable interrupt controller (PIC) is an integrated circuit that helps a microprocessor (or CPU) handle interrupt requests (IRQ) coming from multiple different sources (like external I/O devices) which may occur simultaneously. It helps prioritize IRQs so that the CPU switches execution to the most appropriate interrupt handler (ISR) after the PIC assesses the IRQ's relative priorities. Common modes of interrupt priority include hard priorities, rotating priorities, and cascading priorities.

Fibre optique plastique

vignette|Photographie d'une fibre optique plastique avec un microscope. Une fibre optique plastique (ou fibre optique polymère ; en anglais, plastic optical fiber, polymer optical fibre ou POF) est une fibre optique qui est faite de plastique. Traditionnellement, le polyméthacrylate de méthyle (acrylique ; souvent abrégé en PMMA de l'anglais poly(methyl methacrylate)) est le matériau du cœur de la fibre et les polymères fluorés sont les matériaux de gainage.
