Glossary

10/100BaseT	10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification that uses
	two pairs of twisted-pair cabling: one pair for
	transmitting data and the other for receiving data.
	10/100BaseT has a distance limit of approximately
	100 meters per segment.
100BaseT	100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification that
	uses UTP wiring. Like 10/100BaseT, 100BaseT
	sends link pulses over the network segment when
	no traffic is present. These link pulses contain more
	information than those used in 10/100BaseT.
ADSL	Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line.
ARP	Address Resolution Protocol. Enables routers to
	obtain the Ethernet address for a known IP address.
	See also Inverse ARP.
ATM	Asynchronous Transfer Mode.
BOOTP	Bootstrap Protocol. Used during network booting by
	a network node to determine the IP address of its
	Ethernet interfaces.
DLCI	Data-Link Connection Identifier. Value that specifies
	a PVC or SVC in a Frame Relay network. In the
	basic Frame Relay specification, DLCIs are locally
	significant (connected devices might use different
	values to specify the same connection). In the LMI
	extended specification, DLCIs are globally significant
	(DLCIs specify individual end devices).
E1	Network connection with a capacity of 2.048, divided
	into 32 separate channels (or DS0s).
EEPROM	Electrically Erasable Programmable read only
	Memory. Nonvolatile memory chips that can be
	erased using electrical signals and reprogrammed.
Ethernet	Physical connection commonly used for LANs.
	Runs over a variety of cable types and provides
	bandwidth of 10 Mbps. Invented by Xerox
	Corporation and developed jointly by Xerox, Intel,
	and Digital Equipment Corporation.
Fast Ethernet	Any of a number of 100 Mbps Ethernet
	specifications.
Frame Relay	a network interface providing high-speed packet
	transmission with minimum delay. Uses variable-
	length packets called "frames.”	Contrast with
	"packet."
