Q
The Quality of Service (QoS) feature is based on the 802.16 standard and
defines the classes, service flows, and packet identification rules for
specific types of traffic. The main priority of QoS is to guarantee a reliable
and adequate transmission quality for all types of traffic under conditions
of high congestion and bandwidth over-subscription.
R
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is a client/server
networking protocol that runs in the application layer, by using UDP as
transport and provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and
Accounting (AAA) management for computers to connect and use a
network service. The RADIUS server is a background process that serves
the following three functions:
•
To authenticate users or devices before granting them access to a
network
•
To authorize those users or devices for certain network services
•
To account the users for usage of the provided services.
Rogue devices include Rogue 802.11n AP devices and Rogue wireless
devices (AP/STA/WDS/ADHOC), that are not authorized and secure.
A node wishing to send data initiates the process by sending a
Request-to-Send (RTS) frame.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is used between routers to update
routing information so that a router automatically 'knows' which port to
use for a certain destination IP address.
Routers forward packets from one network to another based on routing
information. A router uses a dynamic routing protocol like RIP or static
routes to base its forwarding decision on.
S
A computer program that can be used to retrieve or set the IP address of a
locally connected unit.
A protocol used for the communication between a network management
application and the devices it is managing. The network management
application is called the SNMP manager and the devices it manages will
have SNMP agents. Not only the unit but also almost every network device
contains a SNMP agent. The manageable objects of a device are arranged
in a Management Information Base, also called MIB. The Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) allows managers and agents to
communicate for accessing these objects.
Single-band refers to a device's ability to function only on one frequency
band.
