the

modulation technique for both 802.11a and 802.11g.

OSI

Open Systems Interconnection is the reference model for

how data should travel between two devices on a

network.

OSPF

Open Shortest Path First is a routing protocol that is used

more than RIP in larger scale networks because only

changes to the routing table are sent to all the other

routers in the network as opposed to sending the entire

routing table at a regular interval, which is how RIP

functions.
