3 ADVANCED FUNCTIONS 3.1 Quality of Service (QoS) Quality of service provides an efficient way for computers on the network to share the Internet bandwidth with a promised quality of Internet service. Without QoS, all computers and devices on the network compete with each other to get Internet bandwidth, and some applications which require guaranteed bandwidth (like video streaming and network telephone) are affected negatively, resulting in an interruption of video/audio transfers. -

Page 56: Glossary
6 GLOSSARY Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out toward the destination. - Page 57 ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations. LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN.
