In TCP/IP, the bits used to create the subnet are called the
subnet mask.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is a widely
used transport protocol that connects diverse computers of
various transmission methods. It was developed y the
Department of Defense to connect different computer types
and led to the development of the Internet.
A transceiver joins two network segments together.
Transceivers can also be used to join a segment that uses one
medium to a segment that uses a different medium. On a
10BASE-5 network, the transceiver connects the network
adapter or other network device to the medium. Transceivers
also can be used on 10BASE-2 or 10BASE-T networks to attach
devices with AUI ports.
The User Datagram Protocol is a connectionless protocol that
resides above IP in the TCP/IP suite
The USERNAME is the unique name assigned to each person
who has access to the LAN.
It is a program that performs a specific task.
Unshielded twisted-pair. UTP is a form of cable used by all
access methods. It consists of several pairs of wires enclosed
in an unshielded sheath.
Wide-Area Network. A wide-area network consists of groups
of interconnected computers that are separated by a wide
distance and communicate with each other via common
carrier telecommunication techniques.
WEP is widely used as the basic security protocol in Wi-Fi
networks, which secures data transmissions using 64-bit or
