Peer A peer is the endpoint of a communication in the network.
Phase 1/2 See IKE.
PIM The Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) enables the dynamic rout-
ing of multicast packets on the Internet.
Ping Ping is a diagnostic tool that can be used to check whether a partic-
ular host in an IP network can be contacted. A measurement is
taken of the time interval between sending a data packet (ICMP(v6)
echo request packet) and receiving a response packet sent back im-
mediately. This enables the connection quality to be determined.
PKCS The Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) are standards for
public key cryptography. The PKCS are designed for binary and AS-
CII data and are compatible with the X.509 standard. The public
standards are PKCS #1, #3, #5, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12 and #15.
PKCS #10 describes the syntax for certification inquiries.
PKI A public key infrastructure (PKI) is used to issue, distribute and veri-
fy digital certificates for an encryption procedure.
PMTU The Path MTU (PMTU) describes the maximum packet size that can
be transmitted along the entire connection route without needing to
be fragmented.
Point-to-multipoint Point-to-multipoint connection is an ISDNB connection. It is used to
connect ISDN terminals. Multiple subscriber numbers (MSNs) are
provided. See also Point-to-point ISDN access

Point-to-point ISDN Point-to-point ISDN access refers to an ISDN connection that is also
access called point-to-point. It is used to connect a PBX. A point-to-point
number and a number block are issued. Each of the numbers in the
number block is called a direct dial exception. (Example: Point-
to-point connection number: 1234, number block: 1 - 99, numbers of
the individual extensions: 1234-1, 1234-2, 1234-3, ...) See also
Point-to-multipoint connection.
Pool An address pool is a collection of IP addresses that can be assigned
to the connected clients, e. g. by DHCP.
