Protocol with no connection required between sender and
receiver that allows sending of data packets on the Internet
(thought unreliable because it cannot ensure the packets will
arrive undamaged or in the correct order)
A set of networking protocols promulgated by the UPnP Forum.
The goals of UPnP are to allow devices to connect seamlessly
and to simplify the implementation of networks in the home
and in corporate environments for simplified installation of
computer components.
Unshielded twisted-pair cable.
Enables the detection of periods of silence in the audio stream
so that it is not transmitted over the network.
Communications network intended to connect between remote

Wired Equivalent Privacy: WEP is based on the use of security
keys and the popular RC4 encryption algorithm. Wireless
devices without a valid WEP key will be excluded from network
traffic.
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an open international
standard for application-layer network communications in a
wireless-communication environment. Most use of WAP
involves accessing the mobile web from any mobile device or
phone.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a certification
program developed to indicate compliance with the security
protocol to secure wireless computer networks. The WPA
protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i
standard. WPA2 implements the mandatory elements of the
802.11i standard.
