Passwords are sent without encryption and the originator can make repeated attempts to gain access. This authentication method must be used if encryption is not supported at the remote end.

PPPPoint to Point Protocol. A protocol which allows a PC to connect as a TCP/IP host to a network through an asynchronous port. PPP is commonly used for connection across the PSTN from a PC to an ISP for purposes of Internet access. PPP includes error detection and data protection features.

PPTP Point-to-Point Tunnelling Protocol. A specification for virtual private networks in which some nodes of a local area network are connected through the Internet.

PRI Primary Rate Interface. Provides 30B+D running at 1.544 megabits per second and 2.048 megabits respectively.

RAS Remote Access Services. A feature built into Windows NT that enables users to log into an NT-based LAN using a modem, X.25 connection or WAN link. RAS works with several major network protocols, including TCP/IP, IPX, and Netbeui. To use RAS from a remote node, you need a RAS client program, which is built into most versions of Windows, or any PPP client software. For example, most remote control programs work with RAS.

MAC Address

The physical address of the hardware device. (Identified at the Media Access Control layer in the network architecture.)

RSVP Resource Reservation Setup Protocol. An Internet protocol developed to enable the Internet to support specified Qualities-of-Service (QoS's). Using RSVP, an application will be able to reserve resources along a route from source to destination. RSVP-enabled routers will then schedule and prioritise packets to fulfil the QoS.
