IPCarvoihin
IPCarvoihin is a Finnish term that translates to "IP cards" or "Internet Protocol cards." In its most common usage, it refers to a type of network interface card (NIC) or network adapter that allows a computer or other device to connect to a network using the Internet Protocol. These cards are essential components for wired Ethernet connections. The term is often used in informal contexts within the Finnish IT community. It encompasses the physical hardware that provides an Ethernet port and handles the transmission and reception of data packets according to the IP protocol. While modern computers often have integrated network interfaces on their motherboards, the term IPCarvoihin can still be relevant when discussing standalone network cards, upgrades, or specialized networking equipment. The functionality of an IPCarvoihin is to translate digital data from the computer into electrical signals that can be sent over a network cable and vice versa.
