014.06.18.1. How does TELNET handle the translation of characters from a local terminal to NVT form, and why is this process important for data transmission over the network?
NVT uses two sets of characters one for data and other for control. For both data and control characters NVT uses 8 bit size where MSB is set to 1 for control while 0 for data.
TELNET translates the characters that come from the local network into the form of NVT and then delivers them to the network. The server TELNET translates the data and commands that are in the NVT form into the form that is mainly acceptable by remote computers. This process is important as without translation, no communication could be done.
TELNET translates characters from a local terminal to NVT (Network Virtual Terminal) form through the TELNET client on the local machine. This is crucial for network data transmission, as NVT ensures a standardized character representation, enabling consistent communication across different systems.
