Refers to a logical address at Layer 3 of the OSI 7-Layer Model, rather than a physical address at Layer 2.

An electronic identifier assigned to each computer system and terminal/PC in a computer network.

Numeric character string used to specify the location of the called customer. Also known as protocol address.

The IP address used to specify a network.

An identifier for a node, station, or unit of equipment in a network.

Either the network portion of an IP address (as opposed to the node portion) or a node's X.25 address when referring to X.25 networks.

This can be either 1) the network portion of an IP address as opposed to the node portion, or 2) when referring to X.25 networks, it is a node's X.25 address.

a pair consisting of a site address and a memory address at that site

In SNA, an address, consisting of subarea and element fields, that identifies a link, link station, or network addressable unit (NAU). Subarea nodes use network addresses; peripheral nodes use local addresses. The boundary function in the subarea node to which a peripheral node is attached transforms local addresses to network addresses and vice versa. See also network name.

An Avaya Octel networking term for the numeric address that an Octel subscriber enters as the message destination when addressing a message to an Octel subscriber on a network node. The network address consists of a node prefix that identifies the remote server to which the message is addressed, and additional digits that identify the recipient mailbox on the remote server.

The information that is required to access the skeleton of a remote object somewhere on a remote host.

A technique by which several hosts share a single IP address for access to the Translation Internet.

(1.) The part of an address indicating a specific network. A complete address for a machine on a network consists of the network address and the host address. (2.) In NCS, a unique identifier (within an address family) for a specific host on a network or an internet. The network address is sufficient to identify a host, but does not identify a communication end point within the host.

User selectable number that is used to identify a group of transceivers that form a communications network. The master and all remotes within a given system must have the same network address.

The MAC address. Sometimes requested by systems like NT.

A group of characters that uniquely identify the location of a node on a network.

A hexadecimal number used to identify a network cabling system.

A unique number associated with a host that identifies it to other hosts during network transactions.

Every node on a network has one or more addresses associated with it, including at least one fixed hardware address such as "ae-34-2c-1d-69-f1" assigned by the device's manufacturer. Most nodes also have protocol specific addresses assigned by a network manager.

For TCP/IP, the 32-bit IP address of a device.

The network portion of an IP address. For a Class A network, the network address is the first byte of the IP address. For a Class B network, the first two bytes of the IP address. For a Class C network, the first three bytes of the IP address. In each case, the remainder is the host address. On the Internet, assigned network addresses are globally unique. See also subnet address. WWWebfx Home Page

Electronic mail address or address of a host machine.

The network portion of an IP address. For a class A network, the network address is the first byte of the IP address. For a class B network, the network address is the first two bytes of the IP address. For a class C network, the network address is the first three bytes of the IP address. In each case, the remainder is the host address. In the Internet, assigned network addresses are globally unique.

An IP address represented by a four-byte field written as byte1.byte2.byte3.byte4, where each byte is an ASCII numeric representation (0 through 255). The hostid 0 of an IP address is reserved; an IP address with the hostid zero is used to refer to the network itself.

A binary address, usually translated from human language by a communications computer, that is placed within the network call packet or datagram and allows that packet or datagram to find its intended node. The number of bits required will depend on the number of nodes and sub-networks interconnected. CCITT X.400 seeks to find a global data network addressing system. Your telephone number with country and area code is a global voice network address.

(1) A protocol-specific address on various media devices that identifies the segment or area where a specific station resides (such as IP, Novell IPX, or DECnet). (2) The network portion of an IP address. Assigned Internet network addresses are globally unique. See also Class A/B/C address, IP address, subnet address. (3) A unique number assigned to each system on a network, consisting of the network number and the system number. Also called Internet address.

The network portion of an IP address. For a class A network, thenetwork address is the first byte of the IP address. For a classB network, the network address is the first two bytes of the IPaddress. For a class C network, the network address is the firstthree bytes of the IP address. In each case, the remainder is thehost address. In the Internet, assigned network addresses areglobally unique. See also: Internet, IP address, subnet address,host address, Internet Registry. Network File System (NFS)

Network layer address referring to a logical, rather than a physical, network device. Also called a protocol address. Compare with MAC address.

A unique identifier of a specific system on a network, usually represented as a number or series of numbers. See also IP address.
