Understanding Terminal Length

Terminal length refers to the maximum number of characters or bytes that can be accepted or displayed in a terminal session. It is a parameter that can be set on network devices, such as routers and switches, to limit the amount of data that can be displayed on the screen at one time. This helps to prevent buffer overflows and ensures efficient use of system resources.
