FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface)
FDDI is a multi-mode protocol used for transmitting data on optical-fiber
cables at speeds up to 100 Mbps.
floating self IP address
A floating self IP address is an additional self IP address for a VLAN that
serves as a shared address by both units of a BIG-IP redundant system.
forward proxy caching
Forward proxy caching is a configuration in which a BIG-IP Cache
Controller redundant system uses content-aware traffic direction to enhance
the efficiency of an array of cache servers storing Internet content for
internal users.
health check
A health check is a BIG-IP feature that determines whether a node is up or
down. Health checks are implemented through health monitors. See also
health monitor, ECV, EAV, and external monitor.
health monitor
A health monitor checks a node to see if it is up and functioning for a given
service. If the node fails the check, it is marked down. Different monitors
exist for checking different services. See also health check, EAV, ECV, and
external monitor.
hit period
The hit period specifies the period, in seconds, over which to count requests
for particular content before determining whether to change the state (hot or
cool) of the content.
If you specify a value for hot pool, but do not specify a value for this
variable, the cache statement uses a default hit period of 10 seconds. See
also cool, hot, and hot pool.
host
A host is a network server that manages one or more virtual servers that the
3-DNS Controller uses for load balancing.
hot
Hot is a term used to define frequently requested content based on the
number of requests in a given time period for a given hot content subset. See
also hot content subset.
hot content load balancing
Hot content load balancing identifies hot or frequently requested content on
the basis of number of requests in a given time period for a given hot content
subset. A hot content subset is different from, and typically smaller than, the
