IP address	Internet Protocol address The address of a host (computer) on the
	Internet, consisting of four numbers, each from 0 to 255, separated
	by periods, e.g., 209.191.4.240. An IP address consists of a network
	ID that identifies the particular network the host belongs to, and
	a host ID uniquely identifying the host itself on that network. A
	network mask is used to define the network ID and the host ID.
	Because IP addresses are difficult to remember, they usually have
	an associated domain name that can be specified instead. See also
	domain name, network mask.

	its customers, usually for a fee.
LAN	Local Area Network A network limited to a small geographic area,

	device, assigned by its manufacturer. MAC addresses are expressed
	as six pairs of characters.

Mbps	Abbreviation for Megabits per second, or one million bits per
	second. Network data rates are often expressed in Mbps
Microfilter	In splitterless deployments, a microfilter is a device that removes
	the data frequencies in the DSL signal, so that telephone users do
	not experience interference (noise) from the data signals. Microfilter
	types include in-line (installs between phone and jack) and wall-
	mount (telephone jack with built-in microfilter). See also splitterless.
NAT	Network Address Translation A service performed by many routers
	that translates your network’s publicly known IP address into a
	Private IP address for each computer on your LAN. Only your router
	and your LAN know these addresses; the outside world sees only the
	public IP address when talking to a computer on your LAN.
NAT rule	A defined method for translating between public and private IP
	addresses on your LAN.
