The state of being adjacent or contiguous; contiguity; as the adjacency of lands or buildings. 2. That which is adjacent. [R.] --Sir T. Browne. From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: adjacency n : the attribute of being so near as to be touching [syn: {contiguity}, {contiguousness}] From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]: adjacencyA relationship between two {network} devices, e.g. {routers}, which are connected by one media segment so that a packet sent by one can reach the other without going through another network device. The concept of adjacency is important in the exchange of routing information. Adjacent {SNA} {nodes} are nodes connected to a given node with no intervening nodes. In {DECnet} and {OSI}, adjacent nodes share a common segment ({Ethernet}, {FDDI}, {Token Ring}). (1998-03-10)
