T

(TCP/IP)	Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is a
	widely used transport protocol that connects diverse
	computers of various transmission methods. It was
	developed y the Department of Defense to connect

	the Internet.
Transceiver	A transceiver joins two network segments together.
	Transceivers can also be used to join a segment that
	uses one medium to a segment that uses a different
	medium. On a 10BASE-5 network, the transceiver
	connects the network adapter or other network device
	to the medium. Transceivers also can be used on
	10BASE-2 or 10BASE-T networks to attach devices
	with AUI ports.

	wires enclosed in an unshielded sheath.

W

WAN	Wide-Area Network. A wide-area network consists of
	groups of interconnected computers that are
	separated by a wide distance and communicate with
	each other via common carrier telecommunication
	techniques.
WEP	WEP is widely used as the basic security protocol in
	Wi-Fi networks, which secures data transmissions
	using 64-bit or 128-bit encryption.
