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.

M

 

MJPEG

MJPEG (Motion JPEG) composes a moving image by storing each frame of a moving

 

picture sequence in JPEG compression, and then decompressing and displaying each

 

frame at rapid speed to show the moving picture.

MPEG4

MPEG4 is designed to enable transmission and reception of high-quality audio and

 

video over the Internet and next-generation mobile telephones.

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 geographic locations and

 

are connected by telephone lines or radio waves.

NWay Protocol

A network protocol that can automatically negotiate the highest possible transmission

 

speed between two devices.

P

 

PCM

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is a technique for converting analog audio signals into

 

digital form for transmission.

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 of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet

 

Protocol (TCP/IP) suite, forwards packets from one network to another using the same
