Local Area Network a computer network that spans a
relatively small area sharing common resources. Most LANs
are confined to a single building or group of buildings.
MJPEG (Motion JPEG) composes a moving image by storing
each frame of a moving picture sequence in JPEG
compression, and then decompressing and displaying each
frame at rapid speed to show the moving picture.
Network Address Translator generally applied by a router that
makes many different IP addresses on an internal network
appear to the Internet as a single address. For routing messages
properly within your network, each device requires a unique IP
address. But the addresses may not be valid outside your
network. NAT solves the problem. When devices within your
network request information from the Internet, the requests are
forwarded to the Internet under the router's IP address. NAT
distributes the responses to the proper IP addresses within your
network.
A network consists of a collection of two or more devices,
people, or components that communicate with each other over
physical or virtual media. The most common types of network
are:
LAN – (local area network): Computers are in close distance
to one another. They are usually in the same office space,
room, or building.
WAN – (wide area network): The computers are in different
geographic locations and are connected by telephone lines or
radio waves.
A network protocol that can automatically negotiate the
highest possible transmission speed between two devices.
