Telnet
Telnet is a terminal emulation protocol commonly used on
the Internet and TCP- or IP-based networks:
Windows Telnet Client
Telnet is used for connecting to remote devices and running
programs. Telnet is an integral component of the TCP/IP
communications protocol.
UDP
(User Datagram Protocol) is a protocol within TCP/IP that is
used to transport information when accurate delivery isn't
necessary (for example, realtime video and audio where
packets can be dumped as there is no time for retransmit-
ting the data).
Virtual Servers
Virtual servers are client servers (such as Web servers) that
share resources with other virtual servers (i.e., it is not a
dedicated server).
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is the de facto security
protocol for wireless LANs, providing the "equivalent" secu-
rity available in hardwired networks.
Wireless LAN
Wireless LANs (WLANs) are local area networks that use
wireless communications for transmitting data. Transmis-
sions are usually in the 2.4 GHz band. WLAN devices do
not need to be lined up for communications like infrared
devices. WLAN devices use access points which are con-
nected to the wired LAN and provide connectivity to the
LAN. The radio frequency of WLAN devices is strong
enough to be transmitted through non-metal walls and ob-
jects, and can cover an area up to a thousand feet. Laptops
and notebooks use wireless LAN PCMCIA cards while PCs
use plug-in cards to access the WLAN.

WAN
WAN (Wide Area Network) is a communications network
that covers a wide geographic area such as a country (con-
trasted with a LAN, which covers a small area such as a
company building).
