	devices over a common medium. Ethernet runs at 10 Mbps;
	Fast Ethernet runs at 100 Mbps. Ethernet is the most common
	type of LAN.
Flash	Flash refers to a type of memory that can be erased and
	reprogrammed in units of memory known as blocks rather
	than one byte at a time; thus, making updating to memory
	easier.
Flow Control	A method of controlling the amount of data that two devices
	exchange. In data communications, flow control prevents one
	modem from "flooding" the other with data. If data comes in
	faster than it can be processed, the receiving side stores the
	data in a buffer. When the buffer is nearly full, the receiving
	side signals the sending side to stop until the buffer has space
	again. Between hardware (such as your modem and your
	computer), hardware flow control is used; between modems,
	software flow control is used.
Hot-Swap	Ability to remove and add hardware to a computer system
	without powering off the system.
ICMP	Internet Control Message Protocol is an Internet protocol
	sent in response to errors in TCP/IP messages. It is an error
	reporting protocol between a host and a gateway. ICMP uses
	Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams (or packets), but the
	messages are processed by the IP software and are not
	directly apparent to the application user.
In-band Network	In a computer network, when the management data is
Management	accessed using the same network that carries the data, this is
	called “in-band management.”
IP Address	A 32-bit address assigned to hosts using TCP/IP. It belongs to
	one of five classes (A-E) and is expressed as 4 octets
	separated by periods formatted as dotted decimals.
	Each address has a network number, an optional sub network
	number and a host number. The first two numbers are used
