Appendix C: Technology Glossary

10Base-T

An adaptation of the Ethernet standard for Local Area Network (LAN). 10Base-T uses a twisted pair cable with maximum length of 100 meters.

AAL

ATM Adaptation Layer that defines the rules governing segmentation and reassembly of data into cells. Different AAL types are suited to different traffic classes.

Address mask

A bit mask used to select bits from an Internet address for subnet addressing. The mask is 32 bits long and selects the network portion of the Internet address and one or more bits of the local portion. Sometimes called subnet mask.

ADSL

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, as it’s name showing, is an asymmetrical data transmission technology with high traffic rate downstream and low traffic rate upstream. ADSL technology satisfies the bandwidth requirement of applications, which demand “asymmetric” traffic, such as web surfing, file download and Video-on-demand (VOD).

ATM

Asynchronous Transfer Mode is a layer 2 protocol supporting high-speed asynchronous data with advanced traffic management and quality of service features.

bps

Bits per second. A standard measurement of digital transmission speeds.

Bridge

A device that connects two or more physical networks and forwards packets between them. Bridges can usually be made to filter packets, that is, to forward only certain traffic. Related devices are: repeaters which simply forward electrical signals from one cable to the other, and full-fledged routers which make routing decisions based on several criteria.

CPE

Customer Premises Equipment, such as ADSL router, USB modem.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Used for assigning dynamic IP address to devices on a network. Used by ISPs for dialup users.

DNS

Domain Name Server, translates domain names into IP

addresses to help user recognize and remember. However, the Internet actually runs on numbered IP addresses, DNS servers needs to translate domain names back to their respective IP addresses.
