Server Virtualization

Error 404--Not Found

From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:

10.4.5 404 Not Found

The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.

If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.

3G

3G is a specification developed by the International Telecommunication Union for the third generation of mobile communications technology (analog cellular was the first generation, digital PCS the second).

3G digital cellular technology promises increased bandwidth: up to 384K bit/sec when a device is stationary or moving at pedestrian speed, 128K bit/sec in a car, and 2M bit/sec in fixed applications.

Current circuit-switched GSM networks transmit data at 9.6K bit/sec or up to 43.2K bit/sec using multitime slot high-speed circuit switched data (HSCSD) upgrades. GSM's 3G counterpart, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), offers much higher data speeds. WCDMA can support mobile voice, images, data and video communications at up to 2M bit/sec (local-area access) or 384K bit/sec (wide-area access). The input signals are digitized and transmitted in a coded, spread-spectrum mode over a range of frequencies. A 5 MHz-wide carrier is used, compared with 200 KHz-wide carrier for narrowband CDMA.
