PURE NETWORKING BROADBAND ROUTER Appendix C. Glossary Bridge: A bridge is an intelligent, internetworking device that forwards or filters packets between different networks based on Data Link layer (MAC) address information. Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP address.
Page 119 APPENDIX C: Glossary A network mask is also a 32-bit binary pattern. It consists of consecutive leading 1’s followed by consecutive trailing 0’s, like this: 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore, sometimes a network mask can also be described simply as x number of leading 1’s. When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address that correspond to 1’s in the network mask become part of the IP network address, and the remaining bits correspond to the host ID.

Page 121 APPENDIX C: Glossary TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are Transport layer protocol. TCP performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP, on the other hand, is not reliable.
