suite based upon these, including ICMP, ARP, UDP,
and others, as well as applications that run upon these
protocols, such as telnet, FTP, etc.
TKIP
The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
provides an extended 48-bit initialization vector, per-
packet key construction and distribution, a Message
Integrity Code (MIC, sometimes called "Michael"),
and a re-keying mechanism. It uses a
cipher to encrypt the frame body and CRC of each
802.11 frame before transmission. It is an important
component of the WPA and
mechanisms.
ToS
TCP/IP packet headers include a 3-to-5 bit Type of
Service (ToS) field set by the application developer
that indicates the appropriate type of service for the
data in the packet. The way the bits are set
determines whether the packet is queued for sending
with minimum delay, maximum throughput, low
cost, or mid-way "best-effort" settings depending
upon the requirements of the data. The ToS field is
used by the D-Link AP to provide configuration
control over Quality of Service (QoS) queues for data
transmitted from the AP to client stations.
U
UDP
The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a transport
layer protocol providing simple but unreliable
datagram services. It adds port address information
and a checksum to an IP
UDP neither guarantees delivery nor does it require a
connection. It is lightweight and efficient. All error
processing and retransmission must be performed by
the application program.
Unicast
A Unicast sends a message to a single, specified
receiver. In wireless networks, unicast usually refers
to an interaction in which the access point sends data
traffic in the form of IEEE 802.1X
a single client station MAC

Frames directly to
address on the network.
Some wireless security modes distinguish between
how unicast, multicast, and broadcast frames are
encrypted or whether they are encrypted.

URL
A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a standard for
specifying the location of objects on the Internet,
such as a file or a newsgroup. URLs are used
extensively in HTML documents to specify the target
of a hyperlink which is often another HTML
document (possibly stored on another computer).
The first part of the URL indicates what protocol to
use and the second part specifies the IP address or the
domain name where that resource is located.
For example,
ftp://ftp.dlink.com/downloads/
specifies a file that should be fetched
myfile.tar.gz
using the FTP protocol;
specifies a Web page that should be
index.html
fetched using the HTTP
V
VLAN
A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a software-based, logical
grouping of devices on a network that allow them to
act as if they are connected to a single physical
network, even though they may not be. The nodes in
a VLAN share resources and bandwidth, and are
isolated on that network. The Unified Access Point
supports the configuration of a wireless VLAN. This
technology is leveraged on the access point for the
"virtual" guest network feature.
VPN
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a network that
uses the Internet to connect its nodes. It uses
encryption and other mechanisms to ensure that only
authorized users can access its nodes and that data
cannot be intercepted.
