Glossary
UDP
User Datagram Protocol. UDP is a
Protocol
of the
TCP/IP
protocol family that handles
data transport between two communication partners (applications). Unlike TCP, UDP
is a non-session based protocol. It does not establish a fixed connection. The recipient
is responsible for making sure the data is received. The sender is not notified about
whether it is received or not.
Uplink
Data that your Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor Modem forwards from your PC or local
network to external sites (e.g. to the Internet).
URL
Universal Resource Locator. Globally unique address of a domain on the Internet, e.g.
http://www.sagem-communications.com.
Virtual server
A virtual
Server
provides a service on the Internet that runs not on itself, but on another
network component. The Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor Modem can be configured
as a virtual server. It will then direct incoming calls for a service via
Port forwarding
directly to the appropriate
Port
of the network component in question.
WAN
Wide Area Network. A WAN is a network that is not restricted to one particular area,
such as the Internet. A WAN is run by one or more public providers to enable private
access. You access the Internet via a Provider.
WiMAX
Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. WiMAX is a modern wireless net-
work technology that enables fast Internet connection even in remote areas where no
other connection possibility (e. g. DSL) is available.
