	the protocol allow a host to inform its local router, using Host
	Membership Reports that it wants to receive messages addressed to
	a specific 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 that 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.
MDI	Medium Dependent Interface. On a network hub/switch, a MDI port
	(uplink port) connects to another hub/switch using a straight cable.
	To connect a MDI port to a computer, a crossover cable is used.
MDI-X	Medium Dependent Interface Crossed. On a network hub/switch, a
	MDI-X port connects to a computer using a straight cable. To
Multicast	connect a MDI-X port to another hub/switch, use a crossover cable.
	A multicast is a packet that is sent to a subset of end stations in a
	LAN, or VLAN that belong to a multicast group. If the network is set up
	correctly, a multicast can only be sent to an end station if it has
	joined the relevant group.
NAT	Network Address Translations multiplexes multiple private IP addresses
	on 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 addresses or the type of data transmitted.
