Switch. A switch is essentially an intelligent hub. When a packet arrives at the switch, it looks at the packet, determines which computer the packet is directed to, and forwards the packet to that computer. By contrast, a hub regenerates the packet and broadcasts it to every computer connected through it.

TCP/IP (transmission control protocol/Internet protocol).

TCP and IP are only two protocols in the family of Internet protocols. However, TCP/IP is used to denote the family of common Internet protocols.

Telnet. Terminal emulation program for TCP/IP networks that runs on your computer and connects your PC to a server on the network.

Traffic. A measure of the quantity of data transferred from one computer to another computer per unit of time. Traffic is normally measured in megabytes.
