packetThe unit of data sent across a network. "Packet" is a generic term used to describe a unit of data at any layer of the OSI protocol stack, but it is most correctly used to describe application layer data units ("{application protocol data unit}", APDU). See also datagram, frame. (1994-11-30) Permanent link to this page: http://www.diclib.com/cgi-bin/d1.cgi?l=en&base=en_foldoc&page=showid&id=9499 |
