Appendix B: Glossary

Shared Ethernet - Conventional CSMA/CD Ethernet configuration to which all stations are attached by a hub and share 10 or 100 Mbps of bandwidth. Only one session can transmit at a time. This is the most popular network type today.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) - The Internet network management protocol. SNMP provides a means to monitor and set network configuration and runtime parameters.

Software - Instructions for the computer. A series of instructions that performs a particular task is called a "program." The two major categories of software are "system software" and "application software." System software is made up of control programs such as the operating system and database management system (DBMS). Application software is any program that processes data for the user. A common misconception is that software is data. It is not. Software tells the hardware how to process the data.

Spoofing - A method of fooling access equipment into thinking a network connection is active even when it’s not.

SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) - Market segment of professionals who work at home or in small offices.

Static IP Address - A permanent IP address that is assigned to a node in a TCP/IP network.

Static Routing - Forwarding data in a network via a fixed path. Static routing cannot adjust to changing line conditions as can dynamic routing.

Storage - The semi-permanent or permanent holding place for digital data.

STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) - Telephone wire that is wrapped in a metal sheath to eliminate external interference.

Subnet Mask - The method used for splitting IP networks into a series of subgroups, or subnets. The mask is a binary pattern that is matched up with the IP address to turn part of the host ID address field into a field for subnets.
