50 <glossdef>
51 <para>Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller, a newer version of
52 the original PC PIC (programmable interrupt controller). Most modern
53 CPUs contain an on-chip APIC ("local APIC"). Many systems also contain
54 an I/O APIC (input output APIC) as a separate chip which provides more
55 than 16 IRQs. Windows 2000 and higher use a different kernel if they
56 detect an I/O APIC during installation. Therefore an I/O APIC must not
57 be removed after installation.</para>

112 <para>Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This allows a networking
113 device in a network to acquire its IP address (and other networking
114 details) automatically, in order to avoid having to configure all
115 devices in a network with fixed IP addresses. VirtualBox has a
116 built-in DHCP server that delivers an IP addresses to a virtual
117 machine when networking is configured to NAT; see <xref

141 which is designed to replace the aging BIOS. Originally designed by
142 Intel, most modern operating systems can now boot on computers which
143 have EFI instead of a BIOS built into them; see <xref

165 <para>Graphical User Interface. Commonly used as an antonym to a
166 "command line interface", in the context of VirtualBox, we sometimes
167 refer to the main graphical
168 <computeroutput>VirtualBox</computeroutput> program as the "GUI", to
169 differentiate it from the <computeroutput>VBoxManage</computeroutput>

217
218 <glossdef>
219 <para>Media Access Control, a part of an Ethernet network card. A MAC
220 address is a 6-byte number which identifies a network card. It is
221 typically written in hexadecimal notation where the bytes are
222 separated by colons, such as
223 <computeroutput>00:17:3A:5E:CB:08</computeroutput>.</para>

229
230 <glossdef>
231 <para>Message Signaled Interrupts, as supported by modern chipsets
232 such as the ICH9; see <xref linkend="settings-motherboard" />. As
233 opposed to traditional pin-based interrupts, with MSI, a small amount
234 of data can accompany the actual interrupt message. This reduces the
235 amount of hardware pins required, allows for more interrupts and
236 better performance.</para>

246
247 <glossdef>
248 <para>Network Address Translation. A technique to share networking
249 interfaces by which an interface modifies the source and/or target IP
250 addresses of network packets according to specific rules. Commonly
251 employed by routers and firewalls to shield an internal network from
252 the Internet, VirtualBox can use NAT to easily share a host's physical
253 networking hardware with its virtual machines. See <xref

299 PC systems from remote network locations. It includes DHCP for IP
300 configuration and TFTP for file transfer. Using UNDI, a hardware
301 independent driver stack for accessing the network card from bootstrap
302 code is available.</para>

312
313 <glossdef>
314 <para>Remote Desktop Protocol, a protocol developed by Microsoft as an
315 extension to the ITU T.128 and T.124 video conferencing protocol. With
316 RDP, a PC system can be controlled from a remote location using a
317 network connection over which data is transferred in both directions.
318 Typically graphics updates and audio are sent from the remote machine
319 and keyboard and mouse input events are sent from the client. A
320 VirtualBox extension package by Oracle provides VRDP, an enhanced
321 implementation of the relevant standards which is largely compatible
322 with Microsoft's RDP implementation. See <xref linkend="vrde" /> for

390 for "Tape ARchive" and was already supported by very early Unix
391 versions for backing up data on tape. The file format is still widely
392 used today, for example, with OVF archives (with an

407 (Globally Unique Identifier) -- is a string of numbers and letters
408 which can be computed dynamically and is guaranteed to be unique.
