JAVA

Java is a programming language that is specially designed for

writing programs that can be safely downloaded to your computer

through the Internet without the fear of viruses. It is an object-

oriented multi-thread programming best for creating applets and

applications for the Internet, Intranet and other complex,

distributed network.

L

LAN

Local Area Network a computer network that spans a relatively

small area sharing common resources. Most LANs are confined to

a single building or group of buildings.

N

NAT

Network Address Translator generally applied by a router, that

makes many different IP addresses on an internal network appear

to the Internet as a single address. For routing messages properly

within your network, each device requires a unique IP address.

But the addresses may not be valid outside your network. NAT

solves the problem. When devices within your network request

information from the Internet, the requests are forwarded to the

Internet under the router's IP address. NAT distributes the

responses to the proper IP addresses within your network.

Network

A network consists of a collection of two or more devices, people,

or components that communicate with each other over physical or

virtual media. The most common types of network are:

LAN – (local area network): Computers are in close distance to

one another. They are usually in the same office space, room, or

building.

WAN – (wide area network): The computers are in different

PING

Packet Internet Groper, a utility used to determine whether a

specific IP address is accessible. It functions by sending a packet

to the specified address and waits for a reply. It is primarily used

to troubleshoot Internet connections.

PPPoE

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE is a specification for

connecting the users on an Ethernet to the Internet through a

common broadband medium, such as DSL or cable modem. All

the users over the Ethernet share a common connection.

Protocol

Communication on the network is governed by sets of rules called

protocols. Protocols provide the guidelines devices use to

communicate with each other, and thus they have different

functions. Some protocols are responsible for formatting and

presenting and presenting data that will be transferred from file

server memory to the file server’s net work adapter Others are

responsible for filtering information between networks and

forwarding data to its destination. Still other protocols dictate how

data is transferred across the medium, and how servers respond to

workstation requests and vice versa. Common network protocols

responsible for the presentation and formatting of data for a

network operating system are the Internetwork Packet Exchange

(IPX) protocol or the Internet Protocol (IP). Protocols that dictate

the format of data for transferors the medium include token-

passing and Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision

Detection (CSMA/CD),implemented as token-ring, ARCNET,

FDDI, or Ethernet. The Router Information Protocol (RIP),a part
