A group of links that appear to a MAC client as if they were a single link. All links in a link aggregation group connect between the same pair of aggregation aystems. One or more conversations may be associated with each link that is part of a link aggregation group (see IEEE 802.3, Clause 43)
The transmission path between any two interfaces of generic cabling (from ISO/IEC 11801)
An agreement that each licensee accepts prior to use of a product. In the SPEC case, this agreement covers what can and cannot be done with the SPEC benchmarks.

In computer terms, a library is a collection of sub-routines provided by the operating system or development environment that can be used to perform certain common tasks, e.g., read something off of disk, create a window on the display, sort an array of values, calculate the cosine of a value, etc.
Refers to the small amount of current that flows (or "leaks") from an output device in the off state caused by semiconductor characteristics
Any airflow that does not flow along an intended path. Leakage airflow results in excess fan energy and may also result in higher energy consumption of refrigeration equipment
See heat load, latent
Link aggregation group identifier
The name of a performance group that originated the benchmark that came to be known as SPEC SFS. The name is an acronym of the companies from the original members: Legato, Auspex, Data General, Digital, Interphase, and Sun Microsystems
