This American organization was founded in 1963 and sets standards for computers and communications. IETF Internet Engineering Task Force. An organization responsible for providing engineering solutions for TCP/ IP networks.
- Page 100 User Guide for the NETGEAR 802.11b Wireless Compact Flash Card MA701 (IPv6) is also beginning to be supported. IPv6 provides for much longer addresses and therefore for the possibility of many more Internet users. IPv6 includes the capabilities of IPv4 and any server that can support IPv6 packets can also support IPv4 packets.
- Page 101 User Guide for the NETGEAR 802.11b Wireless Compact Flash Card MA701 MAC address The Media Access Control address is a unique 48-bit hardware address assigned to every network interface card. Usually written in the form 01:23:45:67:89:ab. Maximum Receive Unit The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be sent or received.

See “Quality of Service” on page 9. Quality of Service QoS is a networking term that specifies a guaranteed level of throughput. Throughput is the amount of data transferred from one device to another or processed in a specified amount of time - typically, throughputs are measured in bytes per second (Bps).
