hovábbítás

Hovábbítás is a Hungarian term that translates to "forwarding" in English. It is commonly used in telecommunications and computing to refer to the process of directing a communication, such as a phone call, email, or data packet, from its original destination to a different, specified destination.

In the context of telephony, hovábbítás can involve setting up call forwarding to send incoming calls to another number, either immediately, when the line is busy, or when there is no answer. This feature is often configured through the phone's settings or by dialing specific service codes.

In email systems, hovábbítás refers to the act of forwarding an email message to one or more additional recipients. This is a standard function within most email clients, allowing users to share information or redirect inquiries.

Within computer networks, hovábbítás is a fundamental operation for routers and other network devices. They examine the destination address of data packets and use routing tables to determine the next hop or the optimal path to forward the packet towards its final destination. This process is essential for the functioning of the internet and other interconnected networks. The term can also be applied to the forwarding of messages in messaging systems or the redirection of requests in web servers.
