Glossary

IP Address

A four-byte number uniquely defining each host on the Internet. Ranges of

addresses are assigned by Internic, an organization formed for this purpose.

Usually written in dotted-decimal notation with periods separating the bytes

(for example, 134.177.244.57).

IPSec

Internet Protocol Security. IPSec is a series of guidelines for securing private

information transmitted over public networks. IPSec is a VPN method

providing a higher level of security than PPTP.

ISP

Internet service provider.

Internet Protocol

The main internetworking protocol used in the Internet. Used in conjunction

with the Transfer Control Protocol (TCP) to form TCP/IP.

LAN

See

local area network.

local area network

LAN. A communications network serving users within a limited area, such as

one floor of a building. A LAN typically connects multiple personal

computers and shared network devices such as storage and printers. Although

many technologies exist to implement a LAN, Ethernet is the most common

for connecting personal computers.

MAC address

Media Access Control address. A unique 48-bit hardware address assigned to

every Ethernet node. Usually written in the form 01:23:45:67:89:ab.

Mbps

Megabits per second.

MSB

See

Most Significant Bit or Most Significant Byte.

MTU

See

Maximum Transmission Unit.

Maximum

Transmission

Unit

The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be sent or received.

Most Significant Bit or

Most Significant Byte

The portion of a number, address, or field that is farthest left when written as a

single number in conventional hexadecimal ordinary notation. The part of the

number having the most value.

NAT

See

Network Address Translation.

netmask

A number that explains which part of an IP address comprises the network

address and which part is the host address on that network. It can be

expressed in dotted-decimal notation or as a number appended to the IP

address. For example, a 28-bit mask starting from the MSB can be shown as

255.255.255.192 or as /28 appended to the IP address.

Network Address

Translation

A technique by which several hosts share a single IP address for access to the

Internet.

packet

A block of information sent over a network. A packet typically contains a

source and destination network address, some protocol and length

information, a block of data, and a checksum.

PPP

See

Point-to-Point Protocol.

PPP over Ethernet

PPPoE. PPP over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the

Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection.

PPTP

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol. A method for establishing a virtual private

network (VPN) by embedding Microsoft’s network protocol into Internet

packets.

PSTN

Public Switched Telephone Network.

Point-to-Point

Protocol

PPP. A protocol allowing a computer using TCP/IP to connect directly to the

Internet.

RFC

Request For Comment. Refers to documents published by the Internet

Engineering Task Force (IETF) proposing standard protocols and procedures

for the Internet. RFCs can be found at www.ietf.org.

RIP

See

Routing Information Protocol.

router

A device that forwards data between networks. An IP router forwards data

based on IP source and destination addresses.

Routing Information

Protocol

A protocol in which routers periodically exchange information with one

another so that they can determine minimum distance paths between sources

and destinations.

subnet mask

See

netmask.

UPnP

See

Universal Plug and Play.

Universal Plug and

Play

UPnP. A networking architecture that provides compatibility among

networking equipment, software and peripherals of the 400+ vendors that are

part of the Universal Plug and Play Forum. UPnP compliant routers provide

broadband users at home and small businesses with a seamless way to

participate in online games, videoconferencing and other peer-to-peer

services.

UTP

Unshielded twisted pair. The cable used by 10BASE-T and 100BASE-Tx

Ethernet networks.

WAN

See

wide area network.

wide area network

WAN. A long distance link used to extend or connect remotely located local

area networks. The Internet is a large WAN.

Windows Internet

Naming Service

WINS. Windows Internet Naming Service is a server process for resolving

Windows-based computer names to IP addresses. If a remote network

contains a WINS server, your Windows PCs can gather information from that

WINS server about its local hosts. This allows your PCs to browse that remote

network using Network Neighborhood.

WINS

Windows Internet Naming Service.
