Technology for the home network based on Ethernet and using existing phone

 

lines. Voice and data travel on the same wires without interfering with each other.

IP address

Numerical identification individualising a device connected to the Internet or a

 

network. For example 192.168.1.2.

Local area network,

Data transmission network covering a small area, for example a flat or a house.

LAN

Usually based on Ethernet technology.

MAC address

Unique fixed address of a piece of hardware, normally set at the time of

 

manufacture and used in LAN protocols.

Multicast

Transmitting data to a select group of recipients at the same time, for example

 

sending an e-mail message to a mailing list. Rf. broadcast.

Network address

Method by which IP addresses and translating transport identifiers (for example

port translation,

TCP and UDP port numbers, ICMP query identifiers) are mapped from one

NAPT

address realm to another, providing transparent routing to end hosts.

Packet Internet

Program used to test whether a particular network destination is accessible, by

Groper, ping

sending an ICMP (Internet control message protocol) echo request and waiting

 

for a response. Ping is used primarily to troubleshoot Internet connections.

Ping

See Packet Internet Groper.

Proxy server

Server which retrieves information from the Internet and stores the information

 

that users frequently use to speed up the retrieval. For example, in using the web

 

the proxy server speeds up the downloading of those web pages located behind

 

slow or congested network connections.

Request for

Document series which describes the Internet suite of protocols and related

comments, RFC

experiments.

Router

Device or software which transmits data from a source network to a destination

 

network in accordance with an address.

Single pair high bit

High-speed transmission technology using existing copper telephone lines.

Stateful inspection

Firewall which provides access control at the network layer by inspecting the

firewall, SIF

contents of incoming packets and accepting or rejecting them depending upon

 

their content.

Subnet mask

Numerical indentification used to determine what subnetwork an IP address

 

belongs to, for example 255.255.255.0.

Tunnelling

Technique to improve the rate, reliability, and security of transmission in a

 

network by creating for transmission a permanent connection, called tunnel,

 

which is often secured by encryption.

DSL Gateway High-Speed Internet Connection specifications

The Nokia DSL Gateway is a robust solution designed to deliver high-speed internet connectivity, harnessing the power of digital subscriber line (DSL) technology. With a focus on performance, reliability, and versatility, this gateway serves as a critical component in the broadband infrastructure for homes and businesses.

One of the main features of the Nokia DSL Gateway is its support for VDSL2 and ADSL2+ technologies. This enables users to achieve higher data rates over existing copper wires, significantly enhancing their internet experience. VDSL2, in particular, offers the capability of multi-gigabit speeds by utilizing frequency bands more efficiently. This makes the Nokia DSL Gateway an excellent choice for users who demand high bandwidth for streaming, gaming, and other data-intensive applications.

The gateway incorporates advanced Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, allowing users to prioritize traffic based on their needs. This ensures that critical applications, such as video conferencing or online gaming, receive the necessary bandwidth while managing other less critical applications effectively. Moreover, the device supports IPv6, ensuring compatibility with the next generation of internet protocol, which is essential as more devices connect to the web.

In terms of connectivity, the Nokia DSL Gateway provides multiple Ethernet ports, enabling wired connections for devices that require stable and fast access. It also features Wi-Fi capabilities, offering dual-band options for wireless connectivity. This is ideal for households with numerous devices, ensuring a strong and reliable wireless network throughout the premises.

Security is a key characteristic of the Nokia DSL Gateway, which comes equipped with various built-in security features to protect users from external threats. These include firewall capabilities, encryption standards, and secure user authentication processes. These features help create a secure online environment for users, providing peace of mind as they browse the web or conduct financial transactions.

Furthermore, the Nokia DSL Gateway is designed with an intuitive user interface that simplifies the setup and management process. Users can easily configure their network settings, monitor performance, and troubleshoot issues through a web-based portal.
