A file left on a user's computer when the user visits a web site. A cookie allows the
web site to recognize the user on subsequent visits. Cookies are generally used to
enable a user to automatically sign on to certain web sites and to customize the
features offered by such sites.
A set of rules that govern the transmission of data across a network. Examples of
protocols are FTP, DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, IPP, and TCP/IP.
−
FTP: File Transfer Protocol. A client-server protocol allowing a user to transfer files
on one computer to and from another computer over a TCP/IP network. The File
Transfer Protocol also governs the client program with which the user transfers files.
−
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol which automatically
specifies the network settings of a client on a TCP/IP network. Many of the settings
required to set up TCP/IP, which is the standard protocol of the Internet, can be
made automatically.
−
BOOTP: BOOTstrap Protocol. A protocol that enables a client machine to
automatically obtain network setup information from a server over a TCP/IP
network. BOOTP enables a client to automatically locate such information as the
host name, domain name, and IP address, so that it is not necessary to create these
items manually.
−
RARP: Reserve Address Resolution Protocol. A protocol which associates a
network adapter address (MAC address) with an Internet Protocol (IP) address.
−
IPP: Internet Printing Protocol. A protocol used between a client and a print server
for carrying out remote printing over the Internet.
−
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol): The protocol used to
connect to the Internet and to wide area networks.
A server that provides a cache of files available on remote servers that are slow or
expensive to access. The term, "proxy server," normally refers to a World
Wide Web server that, on receiving a URL, tries to supply the requested file
from its cache. If it cannot locate the file there, the proxy server would bring it
from the remote server and also saves a copy in its cache so that the next
request can be obtained locally.
