worldwide network of networks that all use the TCP/IP communications

 

protocol and share a common address space.

Internet Protocol (IP)

IP address

kilobyte (kb)

LAN (Local Area Network)

Internet Protocol, the method by which most Internet activity takes place. Members with access to TCP/IP through a SLIP or PPP connection can connect to many ISP services in this manner. As the name implies, it is a protocol for network activity. Most current networks support some sort of TCP or IP directly or indirectly.

A string of four numbers separated by periods (such as 111.22.3.144) used to represent a computer on the Internet. The format of the address is specified by the Internet Protocol in RFC 791. Each of the four number must be 255 or less; they may be 0.

Interference on an analog line caused by a variation of a signal from its reference timing slots. Jitter can cause problems in the receipt of data and any subsequent processing of that data.

A transmission speed. Kilobits (thousands of bits) per second.

A representative word meaning one thousand bytes.

A group of computers at a single location (usually an office or home) that are connected by phone lines, network cables of various configurations or coaxial cable. Usually controlled and administered by a system or network administrator.
