Communication

proper noun — "the global referee for how the world’s communication systems agree to work together."

/ˌaɪ siː tiː/

ICT (information and communication technologies) is an umbrella term covering the technologies used to create, store, process, transmit, and exchange information in digital form. It encompasses computing hardware, communication networks, software systems, and the protocols that allow data to move reliably between devices, organizations, and people. Rather than describing a single technology, ICT refers to an integrated technical ecosystem that enables modern digital society to function.

/ˌɛm ɛl diː/

noun — "tracking who wants multicast traffic on IPv6 networks."

MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery) is a network protocol used in IPv6 environments to manage membership in multicast groups. It allows routers to discover which hosts on a local network segment are interested in receiving multicast traffic and to stop forwarding multicast packets where no listeners exist. Functionally, MLD serves the same role in IPv6 that IGMP serves in IPv4, but it is tightly integrated into the IPv6 protocol suite.

/ˌpiː aɪ ɛm/

noun — "routing multicast traffic without relying on a single protocol."

/ˌaɪ dʒiː ɛm piː/

noun — "managing who joins and leaves network multicast groups."

IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is a communications protocol used in IPv4 networks to manage membership in multicast groups. Multicast allows a single packet stream to be delivered efficiently to multiple recipients without sending separate copies to each host. IGMP enables hosts to report their interest in joining or leaving multicast groups to neighboring routers, which then control the distribution of multicast traffic across the network.

/ˌoʊ ɛs ɛn ɛm eɪ/

noun — "verifying satellite navigation signals to trust your position."

/aɪ tuː siː/

noun — "a simple two-wire bus for short-distance chip-to-chip communication."
