	multicast group. All hosts conforming to level 2 of the IP multicasting
	specification require IGMP.
IEEE	It is the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. The IEEE is a
	professional technical body promoting the development and
	application of technology.
IP Address	At the moment, IP address is a 32-bit binary digit that defines each
	sender or receiver of information across an IP network.
IPSec	Internet Protocol Security. It is a suite of protocols used to implement
	secure exchange of packets at the IP layer.
ISP	Internet Service Provider. It is a company that provides individuals or
	corporations with Internet access and other related services.
LAN	Local Area Network is a group of computers and devices sharing a
	common communication medium within a small geographical area.
Latency	Latency is a time-delay.
MAC Address	MAC is the abbreviation for Media Access Control. The MAC address is
	a unique number assigned by the manufacturer to any Ethernet
	networking device, such as a network adapter or router. It allows a
	network to identify the hardware. Unlike IP addresses, this number is
	permanent and is therefore a valuable identifier.
Mbps	Mega bits per second. It is a unit of measurement for data transmission
	indicating a million bits per second.
Multicasting	To transmit a single message to a select group of network recipients.
NAT	Network Address Translations multiplexes multiple private IP addresses
	for the LAN to a single public IP address on the Internet.
OFDM	Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing. It is a modulation scheme
	employed by the IEEE 802.11g standard, which combines numerous
	signals of different frequencies to form a single signal for transmission
	over a medium.
Packet Filtering	This is a means of discarding unwanted network traffic based on its
	originating IP addresses or the type of packet/data transmitted.
Parallel Broadband	This exclusive feature enables the connection of multiple broadband
	routers to a single network.
Ping	Packet Internet Groper is a utility used to determine whether a
	particular IP address is available online. It works by sending out a
	packet and waiting for a response from the recipient.
PPPoE	Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet is a method for the encapsulation
	of PPP packets over Ethernet frames.
