LAN:	Local Area Network (LAN) is a computer network that spans a
	relatively small area. A system of LANs connected is called a wide area
	network (WAN).
MACAddress:	Media Access Control Address (MAC) is a hardware address that
	uniquely identifies each node of a network.
NAT:	Network Address Translation (NAT) is a routing protocol that allows
	global IP Addresses to be translated into multiple private IP Addresses
	for use on internal LAN networks. The explosion in the use of the
	Internet has created a critical problem for the Internet Assigned Numbers
	Authority (IANA) which is in charge of assigning IP Addresses to
	Internet users, ISPs etc. NAT is a technology that has been introduced to
	help maximize the utilization of assigned IANA and global IP Addresses.
PAP/CHAP:	Password Authentication Protocol and Challenge Handshake
	Authentication Protocol (PAP/CHAP). Most ISPs use either one for
	user identification. If your ISP doesn’t support these two protocols,
	contact them for an authentication script.
PCI:	Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) is a specification introduced
	by Intel Corporation that defines a local bus system that allows up to 10
	PCI-compliant expansion cards to be installed in the computer.

PPP:Short for Point-to-Point Protocol, a communications protocol for transmitting information over standard telephone lines between devices from different manufacturers.

PPPoE:	Short for PPP over Ethernet, relying on two widely accepted standards,
	Ethernet and the Point-to-Point Protocol. PPPoE is a communications
	protocol for transmitting information over the Ethernet between devices
	from different manufacturers.
Router:	An Internet device that routes requests for information to other routers
	until the information’s location is found and the data can be transmitted
	back to the origin of the request.
TCP/IP:	Short for Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol, the suite
	of communications protocols that enable hosts on the Internet to connect
	and exchange streams of data.
MRU:	Maximum Receive Unit indicates the peer of PPP connection the
	maximum size of the PPP information field this device can be received.
	The default value is 1492 and is used in the beginning of the PPP
	negotiation. In the normal negotiation, the peer will accept this MRU
	and will not send packet with information field larger than this value.
