7. Glossary

10Base-T

It is an Ethernet standard for Local Area Network (LAN). 10Base-T uses a twisted pair cable with maximum length of 100 meters.

AAL

ATM Adaptation Layer that defines the rules governing segmentation and reassembly of data into cells. Different AAL types are suited to different traffic classes.

ADSL

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, as its name showing, is an asymmetrical data transmission technology with high traffic rate downstream and low traffic rate upstream. ADSL technology satisfies the bandwidth requirement of applications, which demand “asymmetric” traffic, such as web surfing, file download and Video-on-demand (VOD).

ATM

Asynchronous Transfer Mode is a layer 2 protocol supporting high-speed asynchronous data with advanced traffic management and quality of service features.

bps

Bits per second, a standard measurement of digital transmission speeds.

Bridge

A device that connects two or more physical networks and forwards packets between them. Bridges can usually be made to filter packets, that is, to forward only certain traffic. Related devices are: repeaters which simply forward electrical signals from one cable to the other and full-fledged routers which make routing decisions based on several criteria.

Page 93

CPE

Customer Premises Equipment, such as ADSL router, USB modem.

Default Gateway (Router)

Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the destination.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, this protocol automatically gives every computer on your home network an IP address.

DNS Server IP Address

DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet servers to have a domain name (such as www.Broadbandrouter.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet servers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing "Broadbandrouter.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned to you.

DSL

Digital Line Subscriber (DSL) technology provides high-speed access over twisted copper pair for connection to the Internet, LAN interfaces, and to broadband services such as video-on-demand, distance learning, and video conferencing.

Ethernet

It is a standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables and hubs or switches, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per second (Mbps).

Page 94

FTP

File Transfer Protocol. The Internet protocol (and program) used to transfer files between hosts.

Idle Timeout

Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no traffic to the Internet for a preconfigured amount of time, the connection will automatically be disconnected.

ISP

Internet Service Provider is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.

ISP Gateway Address

The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office.

LAN

Local Area Network is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN.

MAC Address

MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique identifier for a device with an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are often used as the product’s serial number.

NAT

Network Address Translator is defined by RFC 1631. Enable a LAN network to use one set of IP address for internal traffic. A NAT box located where the LAN meets the Internet provides the necessary IP address translation. This helps provide a sort of firewall and allow for a wider address range to be used internally without danger of conflict. Using the router’s NAT capability, you can access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.

Port

Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network application/protocol over another. Below is a list of common applications and protocol/port numbers:

PPP

PPP is the Point-to-Point-Protocol. The successor to SLIP, PPP provides routerto-router and host-to-network connections over both synchronous and asynchronous circuits.

Page 96

PPPoA (RFC 2364)

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol data grams over point-to-point links. This document describes the use of ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) for framing PPP encapsulated packets.

PPPoE (RFC 2516)

This document describes how to build PPP sessions and encapsulate PPP packets over Ethernet. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) provides the ability to connect a network of hosts over a simple bridging access device to a remote Access Concentrator.

Protocol

A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple parties so that when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the interpretation of their behavior is well defined and can be made objectively, without confusion or misunderstanding.

PVC

Permanent Virtual Circuit, connection-oriented permanent leased line circuit between end-stations on a network over a separate ATM circuit.

RFC

Request for Comments. The document series, begun in 1969, which describes the Internet suite of protocols and related experiments. Not all RFCs describe Internet standards, but all Internet standards are written up as RFCs.

RFC 1483

Multi-protocol encapsulation over AAL-5. Two encapsulation methods for carrying network interconnect traffic over ATM AAL-5. The first method allows multiplexing of multiple protocols over a single ATM virtual circuit. The protocol of a carried PDU is identified by prefixing the PDU by an IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) header. This method is in the following called "LLC Encapsulation". The second method does higher-layer protocol multiplexing implicitly by ATM Virtual Circuits (VCs). It is in the following called "VC Based Multiplexing".

Page 97

Router

A system responsible for making decisions about which of several paths network (or Internet) traffic will follow. To do this, it uses a routing protocol to gain information about the network and algorithms to choose the best route based on several criteria known as "routing metrics.

Subnet Mask A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC).

TCP/IP, UDP

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol. TCP performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the other hand is not reliable. They both run on top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a network layer protocol.

TELNET

It is the virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols. Allows users of one host to log into a remote host and act as normal terminal users of that host.

VCI

Virtual Circuit Identifier is part of the ATM cell header. A VCI is a tag indicating the channel over which a cell will travel. The VCI of a cell can be changed as it moves between switches via Signaling.

VPI

Virtual Path Identifier is part of the ATM cell header. A VPI is a pipe for a number of Virtual Circuits.

Page 98

WAN

Wide Area Network is a network that connects computers located in geographically separate areas (e.g. different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network.
