3.7 Glossary
ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
ADSL is a technology for transmitting digital information at a high bandwidth on existing
phone lines to homes and businesses. Unlike regular dial-up phone service, ADSL
provides continuously-available, "always on" connection. ADSL is asymmetric in that it
uses most of the channel to transmit downstream to the user and only a small part to
receive information from the user. ADSL simultaneously accommodates analog (voice)
information on the same line. ADSL is generally offered at downstream data rates from
512 kbit/s to about 6 Mbit/s.
ADSL2+
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 2+
ADSL2plus doubles the bandwidth used for downstream data transmission, effectively
doubling the maximum downstream data rates, and achieving rates of 20 Mbit/s on phone
lines as long at 5,000 feet. ADSL2plus solutions will most commonly be multimode,
interoperating with ADSL and ADSL2, as well as with ADSL2plus chipsets.
Browser
A computer program that allows users to view information from the Internet. To use a
browser, you type in the URL of a website, and the browser then connects your computer
to the website, and shows the information there on your screen.
Client
On a local area network or the Internet, a computer that accesses shared network
resources provided by another computer (called a server).
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP is a client-server networking protocol. Most organizations use DHCP. A DHCP server
provides configuration parameters specific to the DHCP client host requesting, generally,
information required by the host to participate on the Internet network. DHCP also
provides a mechanism for allocation of IP addresses to hosts.
DNS
Domain Name System
A hierarchical way of tracking domain names and their addresses, devised in the
mid-1980s. The DNS database does not rely on one file or even one server, but rather is
distributed over several key computers across the Internet to prevent catastrophic failure
if one or a few computers go down. DNS is a TCP/IP service that belongs to the Application
layer of the OSI model.
Ethernet
A local area network (LAN) architecture developed by Xerox Corporation in cooperation
with DEC and Intel in 1976. Ethernet uses a bus or star topology and supports data

transfer rates of 10 Mbit/s. The Ethernet specification served as the basis for the IEEE
802.3 standard, which specifies the physical and lower software layers. Ethernet uses the
CSMA/CD access method to handle simultaneous demands. It is one of the most widely
implemented LAN standards.
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is a standards organization for
computer and electronic devices. Its senior members are IEEE fellows.
Internet
Largest global internet work, connecting tens of thousands of networks worldwide and
having a "culture" that focuses on research and standardization based on real-life use.
Many leading-edge network technologies come from the Internet community.
The most important using for Internet is:
z
The email
z
The World Wide Web (WWW)
z
The transfer of data
z
The forum of discussion
z
To transfer data of peer-to-peer
z
Chat
z
The content of audio/video streaming
IP
Internet Protocol
The set of standards responsible for ensuring that data packets transmitted over the
Internet are routed to their intended destinations.
IP address
An IP address is the logical address of a network adapter. The IP address uniquely
identifies computers on a network. An IP address can be private, for use on a LAN, or
public, for use on the Internet or other WAN.
kbit/s
Kilobit per second
A unit used to express the speed of a network.
LAN
Local Area Network
A computer network covering a small local area, like a home, office, or small group of
buildings such as a home, office, or college. Current LANs are most likely to be based on
switched Ethernet or Wi-Fi technology running at 10, 100 or 1,000 Mbit/s (1,000 Mbit/s is
also known as 1 Gbit/s).
MAC address
It is a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network.
