Telenegar Technical Glossary

Welcome to the Telenegar Glossary. This reference guide defines essential terminology across networking protocols, domain name resolution, email security standards, web encryption, and diagnostic tools referenced throughout the Telenegar documentation platform.


A

A Record (Address Record)

A core DNS record mapping a domain or hostname to a 32-bit IPv4 address (e.g., telenegar.ir185.x.x.x).

AAAA Record (IPv6 Address Record)

A DNS record mapping a domain or hostname to a 128-bit IPv6 address.

ASN (Autonomous System Number)

A unique globally identified number assigned to an Autonomous System (AS) by regional Internet registries (RIRs) to control BGP routing parameters.


B

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)

The standardized exterior gateway protocol designed to exchange routing and reachability information among autonomous systems (AS) on the Internet.

BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification)

An email specification allowing domain owners to display brand logos next to authenticated email messages in supporting inbox clients (requires SPF, DKIM, and DMARC enforcement).


C

CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing)

A method for allocating IP addresses and IP routing efficiency using variable-length subnet masking notation (e.g., `/24`, `/16`). Learn more at CIDR Notation or calculate subnets using the Subnet Calculator Tool.

CNAME Record (Canonical Name Record)

A DNS record used to alias one domain name to another canonical domain name.

CSP (Content Security Policy)

An HTTP security header enabling administrators to declare approved dynamic resources browsers are allowed to load.


D

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail)

An email authentication method using cryptographic public-key signatures attached to message headers to detect spoofing and tampering. Learn more at DKIM Guidance.

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance)

An email validation protocol built on top of SPF and DKIM that allows domain owners to specify how receiver systems handle failed authentications (`p=none`, `p=quarantine`, or `p=reject`). Learn more at DMARC Guidance.

DNS (Domain Name System)

The hierarchical decentralized naming system used to translate human-readable hostnames into IP addresses. Learn more at DNS Explained or run diagnostic checks using the DNS Check Tool.

DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions)

A suite of extensions adding cryptographic signatures to existing DNS records to prevent spoofing and cache poisoning. Learn more at DNSSEC Guidance.


H

HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security)

A web security policy header enforcing secure HTTPS connections between browsers and servers. Learn more at HTTP Security Headers.

HTTP / HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol / Secure)

The application protocol used for transmitting web hypermedia documents across the Web. HTTPS utilizes TLS/SSL encryption. Run site checks via the Site Check Tool.


I

ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)

A network layer protocol used by diagnostic utilities such as Ping Check and Trace Route to communicate operational errors and ping latency metrics. Learn more at ICMP.

IMAP / IMAPS (Internet Message Access Protocol)

An application layer protocol used by email clients to retrieve messages from a mail server over ports `143` (unencrypted/STARTTLS) and `993` (SSL/TLS). Audit ports with the Port Check Tool or read IMAP Protocol.


M

MTA-STS (Mail Transfer Agent Strict Transport Security)

A security standard enabling mail servers to enforce TLS encryption and certificate validation for incoming SMTP connections. Learn more at MTA-STS Configuration.

MX Record (Mail Exchange Record)

A DNS resource record specifying the mail server responsible for accepting incoming email messages on behalf of a domain. Validate email settings using the Mail Check Tool or learn more at MX Records.


P

Probe

A distributed monitoring node deployed at various network vantage points (e.g., domestic ISPs or international datacenters) by the Telenegar platform. Probes continuously execute remote latency, BGP routing, DNS resolution, and availability checks from multiple locations back to target infrastructure, providing real-time network diagnostic data across the Telenegar suite.

PTR Record (Pointer Record)

A DNS record mapping an IP address back to its canonical domain name (Reverse DNS). Learn more at Reverse DNS for Email or Reverse DNS (PTR).


S

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

The internet standard communication protocol used to transmit outgoing email across networks over standard ports (`25`, `465`, `587`). Learn more at SMTP Protocol.

SPF (Sender Policy Framework)

An email authentication mechanism specifying which mail servers/IP addresses are authorized to send email on behalf of a domain via DNS TXT records. Learn more at SPF Guidance.

SSL / TLS (Secure Sockets Layer / Transport Layer Security)

Cryptographic protocols designed to provide end-to-end communications security over a computer network. Learn more at SSL/TLS.


T

Telenegar

A comprehensive network diagnostic and monitoring platform designed for IT administrators and network engineers in Iran. Telenegar provides real-time visibility into infrastructure health, domain security, DNS configurations, and email deliverability through automated auditing utilities and a distributed network of diagnostic probes.

TTL (Time To Live)

A numerical value in DNS records or IP packet headers defining the duration (in seconds or hop counts) before data expires or is discarded. Learn more at TTL Guidance.

TLS-RPT (TLS Reporting)

A reporting standard companion to MTA-STS allowing domain owners to receive automated reports regarding delivery failures or TLS handshake issues. Learn more at TLS-RPT.


U

Uptime

A metric indicating the total percentage of time a site or server remains functional and accessible. Automate monitoring via the Uptime Monitoring Tool.
