PROBATION: served instead of a prison sentence.

SUPERVISED RELEASE, frequently referred to as probation: served after release from a prison sentence.

MANDATORY Conditions of Supervision: Required by 18U.S.C.§3583, these are frequently included in a district’s Standard Conditions.

STANDARD Conditions of Supervision: These vary in each federal district and may vary based on the date of the offense.

SPECIAL Conditions of Supervision: Imposed by a judge at sentencing, these will vary from case to case.  Examples can be found here.
