Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM
One of the two types of PPP interfaces you can define
for a Virtual Circuit (VC), the other type being PPPoE.
You can define only one PPPoA interface per VC.
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
One of the two types of PPP interfaces you can define
for a Virtual Circuit (VC), the other type being PPPoA.
You can define one or more PPPoE interfaces per VC.
A set of rules governing the transmission of data. In
order for a data transmission to work, both ends of the
connection have to follow the rules of the protocol.
In a physically separate location. For example, an
employee away on travel who logs in to the company's
intranet is a remote user.
Routing Information Protocol
The original TCP/IP routing protocol. There are two
versions of RIP: version I and version II.
Registered Jack Standard-11
The standard plug used to connect telephones, fax
machines, modems, etc. to a telephone port. It is a 6-pin
connector usually containing four wires.
Registered Jack Standard-45
The 8-pin plug used in transmitting data over phone
lines. Ethernet cabling usually uses this type of
connector.
Forwarding data between your network and the Internet
on the most efficient route, based on the data's
destination IP address and current network conditions.
A device that performs routing is called a router.
Secondary Domain Name System (server)
A DNS server that can be used if the primary DSN
server is not available. See DNS.
A subnet is a portion of a network. The subnet is
distinguished from the larger network by a subnet mask
that selects some of the computers of the network and
excludes all others. The subnet's computers remain
physically connected to the rest of the parent network,
but they are treated as though they were on a separate
network. See network mask.
A mask that defines a subnet. See network mask.
See TCP/IP.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
The basic protocols used on the Internet. TCP is
responsible for dividing data up into packets for delivery
and reassembling them at the destination, while IP is
responsible for delivering the packets from source to
destination. When TCP and IP are bundled with
higher-level applications such as HTTP, FTP, Telnet,
etc., TCP/IP refers to this whole suite of protocols.
An interactive, character-based program used to access
a remote computer. While HTTP (the web protocol) and
FTP only allow you to download files from a remote
computer, Telnet allows you to log into and use a
computer from a remote location.
