Protocol Data Unit - A term applied to the user data and control information transmitted by an SNMP manageable device or SNMP management station.
A unit of data specified in a layer protocol and consisting of protocol control information and layer user data.
A PDU is a message of a given protocol comprising payload and protocol-specific control information, typically contained in a header. PDUs pass over the protocol interfaces which exist between the layers of protocols (per OSI model).
An SNMP message containing information about network device activity.
Professional Defence Union Fees.
The unit of data transfer between peer layer entities. It may contain control information, address information, and/or data (for example, a Service Data Unit from a higher layer entity). A valid PDU is at least 24 bits in length. The FDDI MAC PDUs are tokens and frames.
A Professional Development Unit which includes one contact hour in a professional development program approved by the LPDC. Ten PDUs equal one CEU.
Protocol Data Unit. Type of data unit used by a particular protocol. Often preceded by letter to indicate protocol layer--for example, NPDU and TPDU for network and transport layers. A PDU is the information that is delivered as a unit between peer entities of a network and may contain control information, address information, or data.
Protocol Data Unit (PDU) is the name given to data as they move from one layer of the OSI model to another.
A unit of information (e.g., packet or frame) exchanged between peer layers in a network.
Portable Data Unit. A hand held device that utilizes a palmtop computer and radio receiver to display levels, alarms, pump status and flow rate information. A PDU listens to the system 24 hours a day at home, in the office or a vehicle.
Protocol Data Unit. Defined by the IEEE 802.2 standard.
POWER DISTRIBUTION UNIT A portable electrical distribution device that provides an easily expandable and flexible electrical environment for a computer and its associated peripherals.
protocol data unit. Unit containing both data and control information that is passed through the layers of the OSI model.
Protocol Data Unit. Encoded messages which form the basis of data exchanges between SNMP devices.
Protocol Data Unit. A data unit specified in a layer protocol consisting of protocol control information and layer user data.
Protocol Data Unit. The unit of information that is exchanged by peer Layer Service Providers to implement the protocol that offers the service. The PDU consists of a Protocol Control Information and Service Data Unit.
protocol data unit. A unit of data in a network. For SDLC protocols, a PDU is a path information unit. For token-ring protocols, a PDU is an I-frame.
Protocol Data Unit. This is OSI terminology for "packet." A PDU is a data object exchanged by protocol machines (entities) within a given layer. PDUs consist of both Protocol Control Information (PCI) and user data.
Protocol Data Unit. A unit of data specified in a layer protocol, comprising protocol control information and layer user data.
Protocol Data Unit - An SNMP compliant request, response, or trap message.
Protocol Data Unit. This unit defines the type of SNMP message. A PDU contains control fields and an array of pairs. The control fields are dependent on the message type. The first element of each of the pairs in the array identifies management data. The second element of each of the pairs in the array specifies the value of this management data.
Protocol Data Unit It is a parameter that describes the passage through the different levels OSI that contains a head, data and information.
Protocol Data Unit (X.500, LDAP)
Database object specified in IOM that contains all relevant information about an individual, including data related to employment, education, medical history and personal tastes.
Professional Development Units
protocol Data Unit, information packet (ADDR, CTRL, INFO) passed as one level between protocol stacks, OSI
Protocol data unit (data packet)
Protocol Data Unit. A packet of data passed across an IP network.
Power Distribution Unit. An active electrical device which conditions and provides multiple taps of the incoming electrical supply for the computer equipment.
Protocol Data Unit - message between SNMP agent & manager.
Protocol Data Unit A data structure containing SNMP message components and used for communication between SNMP entities.
Power distribution unit. A power source with multiple power outlets that provides electrical power to servers and storage systems in a rack.
Protocol data unit. A discrete piece of information (such as a packet or frame) in the appropriate format to be segmented and encapsulated in the payload of an ATM cell.
protocol data unit. OSI term for packet. See also BPDU and packet.
Protocol data unit. Another name for packet.
A device for the distribution of ac line power from one inlet to multiple outlets. Multiple PDUs - in a rackmount cabinet or deskside storage system - provide higher availability since the power continues if one PDU (or its ac source, if the PDUs use separate ac sources) loses power.
Protocol Data Unit. A frame of data transmitted over the physical layer of a network.
Protocol Data Unit. An OSI defined packet exchanged between ESs that contains protocol control information and user data.
The OSI term for a packet.
See Professional Development Unit.
Professional Development Unit. Unit used by PMI for qualification purposes. One PDU is earned for each contact hour spent in structured learning, which is relevant to project management.
Protocol Data Unit. "PDU" is internationalstandardscomitteespeak for packet. Seealso: packet. protocol stack
Protocol data unit. A packet of data passed across a network. The term implies a specific layer of the OSI seven-layer model and a specific protocol.
protocol data unit. A unit of data equivalent to the frame which is passed between protocol layers.
Power Distribution Unit. This electrical device is used to control the distribution of power to the individual loads. Control may be as simple as a series of switch or circuit breakers to interlocked logic operating solidstate relays. Available as a stand-alone unit or integrated into the UPS.
Protocol Data Unit. See also Distributed Interactive Simulation.
Protocol data unit. The unit of data in the OSI reference model containing both protocol-control information and user data from the layer above. The block of information is exchanged between two processes within communicating machines.
