AVI	Audio Video Interleave, it is a Windows platform audio and video

BOOTP Bootstrap Protocol is an Internet protocol that can automatically configure a network device in a diskless workstation to give its own IP address.

Communication Communication has four components: sender, receiver, message, and medium. In networks, devices and application tasks and processes communicate messages to each other over media. They represent the sender and receivers. The data they send is the message. The cabling or transmission method they use is the medium.

Connection In networking, two devices establish a connection to communicate with each other.

D

DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol was developed by Microsoft a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP address can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses. This simplifies the task for network administrators because the software keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. This means a new

	computer can be added to a network without the hassle of
	manually assigning it a unique IP address. DHCP allows the
	specification for the service provided by a router, gateway, or
	other network device that automatically assigns an IP address to
	any device that requests one
DNS	Domain Name System is an Internet service that translates domain
	names into IP addresses. Since domain names are alphabetic,
	they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based
	on IP addresses every time you use a domain name the DNS will
	translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example,
	the domain name www.network_camera.com might translate to
	192.167.222.8.

Enterprise An enterprise network consists of collections of networks

network connected to each other over a geographically dispersed area. The enterprise network serves the needs of a widely distributed company and operates the company’s mission-critical applications.

Ethernet The most popular LAN communication technology. There are a variety of types of Ethernet, including 10 Mbps (traditional Ethernet), 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet), and 1,000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). Most Ethernet networks use Category 5 cabling to carry information, in the form of electrical signals, between devices. Ethernet is an implementation of CSMA/CD that operates in a bus or star topology.

F

Fast Ethernet Fast Ethernet, also called 100BASE-T, operates at 10 or 100Mbps

per second over UTP, STP, or fiber-optic media.
