The term "proxy server" normally refers to a World Wide Web server that, on receiving a URL, tries to supply the requested file from its cache. If it cannot locate the file there, the proxy server would bring it from the remote server and also save a copy in its cache so that the next request can be obtained locally. Queue server mode When the printer is used in NetWare's queue server mode, all print server functions are provided by the printer itself, and no other print server hardware nor software is required. RARP Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. A protocol that associates a network adapter address (MAC address) with an Internet Protocol (IP) address. 6-18 Glossary Raster Raster graphics describes an image as a pattern of dots, compared to vector graphics which represents an image as a geometrical formula.
