IEEE 802.3 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over two pairs of Category 3
or better UTP cable
IEEE 802.1p is a standard that provides traffic class expediting and dynamic
multicast filtering
Advanced Encryption Standard: An encryption algorithm that implements
symmetric key cryptography. AES provides very strong encryption using a
completely different ciphering algorithm to TKIP and WEP.
Authentication and Key Agreement
Access Point: The device that acts as a communication hub, connecting
wireless clients to the network.
The process to verify the identity of a client requesting network access. IEEE
802.11 specifies two forms of authentication: open system and shared key.
A signal periodically transmitted from the access point that is used to identify
the service set, and to maintain contact with wireless clients.
Broadcast keys are sent to stations using 802.1X dynamic keying. Dynamic
broadcast key rotation is often used to allow the access point to generate a
random group key and periodically update all key-management capable
wireless clients.
Basic Service Set: A set of 802.11-compliant stations and an access point that
operate as a fully-connected wireless network.

Customer Premise Equipment: Communications equipment that resides on
the customer's premises.
