Appendix B: Glossary

Port Mirroring - Port mirroring, also known as a roving analysis port,
is a method of monitoring network traffic that forwards a copy of each
incoming and outgoing packet from one port of a network switch to
another port where the packet can be studied. A network administrator
uses port mirroring as a diagnostic tool or debugging feature, especially
when fending off an attack. It enables the administrator to keep close
track of switch performance and alter it if necessary. Port mirroring can be
managed locally or remotely.
Print Server - A hardware device that enables a printer to be located
anywhere in the network.
Quality of Service (QoS) - Term for the set of parameters and their values
which determine the performance of a given virtual circuit.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) - A simple routing protocol that
is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. It determines a route based on the
smallest hop count between source and destination. RIP is a distance vector
protocol that routinely broadcasts routing information to its neighboring
Routers and is known to waste bandwidth. AppleTalk, DECnet, TCP/IP,
NetWare, and VINES all use incompatible versions of RIP.	95

RJ-11- (Registered Jack-11) - A telephone connector that holds up to six wires. The RJ-11 is the common connector used to plug a telephone into a wall.

RJ-45- A connector similar to a telephone connector that holds up to eight wires, used for connecting Ethernet devices.

Router - An OSI Layer 3 device that can decide which of several paths network traffic will follow based on some optimality metric. Also called a gateway (although this definition of gateway is becoming increasingly outdated), routers forward packets from one network to another based on network-layer information.

Powerline - Powerline (Sometimes called DPL- Digital PowerLine) technology provides the transmission of data over the same lines that carry electric power in homes and businesses.

Server - Any computer whose function in a network is to provide user access to files, printing, communications, and other services.
