DHCP: The Dynamic Host Configuration protocol is used for dynamically distributing network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses for interfaces
and services.
DLNA: The Digital Living Network Alliance DLNA is a nonprofit collaborative trade organization that is responsible for defining interoperability guidelines to
enable the sharing of digital media between multimedia devices. Some HDTVs, Gaming Consoles, and other media devices adhere to DLNA guidelines.
DNS: A Domain Name System is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private
network. This allows the recognition of domain names such as www.yahoo.com instead of 98.139.183.24, which is more difficult to remember.
Domain: A portion of the spanning hierarchy tree that refers to general groupings of networks based on organization type or geography.
DoS: Denial of Service is an interruption in an authorized user's access to a computer network and is typically caused with malicious intent. Although the
process and targets of a DoS attack vary, it generally consists of efforts to temporarily or indefinitely interrupt or suspend services of a host connected to a
network.
Download: The transfer of a file from a remote computer to a local computer.
Dynamic IP: An IP address that is assigned and changed periodically. Dynamic IP addresses can change each time you connect to the Internet, while static
IP addresses are reserved for you statically and don't change over time.
Encryption: The application of a specific algorithm to data so as to alter the appearance of the data making it incomprehensible to those who are not
authorized to see the information.
Firewall: A router or access server, or several routers or access servers designated as a buffer between any connected public networks and a private
network. A firewall router uses access lists and other methods to ensure the security of the private network.
