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.

SHDSL

 

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.
