Static IP Address
- A permanent IP address that is assigned to a node in an IP or a TCP/IP
network.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
- A method (protocol) used along with the IP (Internet
Protocol) to send data in the form of message units (datagram) between network devices over a
LAN or WAN. While IP takes care of handling the actual delivery of the data (routing), TCP
takes care of keeping track of the individual units of data (called packets) that a message is
divided into for efficient delivery over the network. TCP is known as a "connection oriented"
protocol due to requiring the receiver of a packet to return an acknowledgment of receipt to the
sender of the packet resulting in transmission control.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
- The basic communication
language or set of protocols for communications over a network (developed specifically for the
Internet). TCP/IP defines a suite or group of protocols and not only TCP and IP.
Telnet
- A terminal emulation protocol commonly used on the Internet and TCP/IP-based
networks. It allows a user at a terminal or computer to log onto a remote device and run a
program.
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)
- A version of the TCP/IP FTP protocol that has no
directory or password capability.
Throughput
- The amount of data moved successfully from one place to another in a given
time period.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
- A method (protocol) used along with the IP (Internet
Protocol) to send data in the form of message units (datagram)between network devices over a
LAN or WAN. While IP takes care of handling the actual delivery of the data (routing), UDP
takes care of keeping track of the individual units of data (called packets) that a message is
divided into for efficient delivery over the network. UDP is known as a "connection-less"
protocol due to NOT requiring the receiver of a packet to return an acknowledgment of receipt
to the sender of the packet (as opposed to TCP).
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
- A data privacy mechanism based on a 64- bit or 128-bit
shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
WINIPCFG
- Configuration utility based on the Win32 API for querying, defining and
managing IP addresses within a network. A commonly used utility for configuring networks
with static IP addresses.
