In a data communications network, the number of legs traversed by a packet between its source and destination. Note: Hop count may be used to determine the time-to-live for some packets. 2. The number of signal regenerating devices (such as repeaters, bridges, routers, and gateways) through which data must pass to reach their destination.
Industry:Telecommunications
In a data network where the information-bearer channel rate is higher than the input data signaling rate, transmission performed by interrupting, at controlled intervals, the data stream being transmitted. Note 1: Isochronous burst transmission enables communication between data terminal equipment (DTE) and data networks that operate at dissimilar data signaling rates, such as when the information-bearer channel rate is higher than the DTE output data signaling rate. Note 2: The binary digits are transferred at the information-bearer channel rate. The transfer is interrupted at intervals in order to produce the required average data signaling rate. Note 3: The interruption is always for an integral number of unit intervals. Note 4: Isochronous burst transmission has particular application where envelopes are being transferred between data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) and only the bytes contained within the envelopes are being transferred between the DCE and the DTE. Synonyms burst isochronous (deprecated,) interrupted isochronous transmission.

In a data network, a station other than the control station. 2. On a multipoint connection or a point-to-point connection using basic mode link control, any data station other than the control station.
Industry:Telecommunications
In a data network, a station that is selected and controlled by a master station. Note: Usually a slave station can only call, or be called by, a master station. 2. In navigation systems using precise time dissemination, a station having a clock is synchronized by a remote master station. Synonym subordinate station.

Industry:Telecommunications
In a data network, the station that is designated by the control station to ensure data transfer to one or more slave stations. Note: A master station controls one or more data links of the data communications network at any given instant. The assignment of master status to a given station is temporary and is controlled by the control station according to the procedures set forth in the operational protocol. Master status is normally conferred upon a station so that it may transmit a message, but a station need not have a message to send to be designated the master station. 2. In navigation systems using precise time dissemination, a station that has the clock used to synchronize the clocks of subordinate stations. 3. In basic mode link control, the data station that has accepted an invitation to ensure a data transfer to one or more slave stations. Note: At a given instant, there can be only one master station on a data link.

In a data processing system, any equipment, distinct from the central processing unit, that may provide the system with additional capabilities. Note: Such equipment is often offline until needed for a specific purpose and may, in some cases, be shared among several users.

Industry:Telecommunications
In a data transmission system, the situation that occurs when two or more demands are made simultaneously on equipment that can handle only one at any given instant. 2. In a computer, the situation that occurs when an attempt is made to store simultaneously two different data items at a given address that can hold only one of the items.
