See Layer Two Tunneling Protocol.
L2TP access concentrator (LAC)
A device that is either attached to the switched network or concurrently located within a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) end system that is capable of handling the Layer Two Tunnel Protocol (L2TP). LAC needs to implement only the media over which L2TP operates in order to pass traffic to one or more L2TP network servers. It may tunnel any protocol that is carried within PPP. LAC is the initiator of incoming calls and the receiver of outgoing calls.
L2TP network server (LNS)
A server that handles the server side of the Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP). Because L2TP relies only on the single media over which L2TP tunnels arrive, the L2TP network server (LNS) may have only a single local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN) interface. However, LNS must still be able to end calls that arrive at any L2TP access concentrator (LAC). LNS is the initiator of outgoing calls and the receiver of incoming calls.

See loop port.
- Text that a user enters to identify a revision.
- In DB2 for i5/OS SQL, text that is attached to columns, tables, and packages.
- An instance of a label type object, which provides a user-defined name for a version. See also object.
- An identifier within or attached to a set of data elements.
- One or more characters used to identify a statement or an item of data in a computer program.
- A node in a portal that cannot contain any content, but can contain other nodes. Labels are used primarily to group nodes in the navigation tree.
- The explanatory text next to a control on the screen.
- An identification record for a tape or disk file.
- A description of information that can be almost anything on a translation object that is not an element, a keyword title, or an information indicator. A label can also be used as information dividers, such as a line of dashes.
- A 1 to 32 character name assigned to a certificate.
- A short descriptor or keyword that classifies or categorizes information assets in the metadata repository, including categories and terms in the business glossary.
A document that contains information about a worker, such as craft, skill level, hours worked, and certifications. A labor record cannot exist without a corresponding person record. See also person record.

LAN Adapter and Protocol Support (LAPS)
A subsystem that includes the software that manages and controls the network adapter cards, including the device drivers for those cards as well as the protocols that are used to communicate with other adapters on the network.
LAN bridge server (LBS)
In the IBM Token-Ring Network Bridge Program, the server that keeps statistical information about frames that are forwarded between two or more rings (through a bridge). The LBS sends these statistics to the appropriate LAN managers through the LAN reporting mechanism (LRM).
LAN channel station (LCS)
The channel protocol supported by TCP/IP application in mainframe hosts. Each application defines a consecutive pair of subchannels, one for TCP/IP to read from the channel, and one for TCP/IP to write to the channel. The LCS interface allows LAN MAC frame to be transported over the channel, and provides a command interface to activate, deactivate, and query the LAN interfaces.
landscape page presentation
The position of a printed sheet that has its long edges as the top and bottom and its short edges as the sides. See also portrait page presentation.
The position of a printed form that has its long edges as the top and bottom and its short edges as the sides. See also portrait position.
See LAN emulation.
- A container in a pool for the activities and events that take place during process ex
