DHCPv4
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 4. Allows a computer to

walkie-talkie is a half-duplex device because only one party can
transmit at a time.

devices in a SAN. The SAN fabric enables any-server-to-any-storage
device connectivity through the use of Fibre Channel switching
technology.
