JAVA

Java is a programming language that is specially designed for writing programs that can be safely

 

downloaded to your computer through the Internet without the fear of viruses. It is an object-

 

oriented multi-thread programming best for creating applets and applications for the Internet,

 

Intranet and other complex, distributed networks.

L

 

LAN

Local Area Network. A computer network that spans a relatively small area sharing common

 

resources. Most LANs are confined to a single building or group of buildings.

N

 

NAT

Network Address Translator. Generally applied by a router, a network address translator makes

 

many different IP addresses on an internal network appear to the Internet as a single address. For

 

routing messages properly within your network, each device requires a unique IP address. But the

 

addresses may not be valid outside your network. NAT solves the problem. When devices within

 

your network request information from the Internet, the requests are forwarded to the Internet

 

under the router's IP address. NAT distributes the responses to the proper IP addresses within

 

your network.

Network

A network consists of a collection of two or more devices, people, or components that

 

communicate with each other over physical or virtual media. The most common types of

 

networks are LANs and WANs. In a LAN (local area network), computers are in close distance

 

to one another. They are usually in the same office space, room, or building. In a WAN (wide

 

area network), the computers are in different geographic locations and are connected by telephone

 

lines or radio waves.

N-Way Protocol

A network protocol that can automatically negotiate the highest possible transmission speed

 

between two devices.

P

 

PING

Packet Internet Groper. A utility used to determine whether a specific IP address is accessible. It

 

functions by sending a packet to the specified address and waits for a reply. It is primarily used

 

to troubleshoot Internet connections.

PPPoE

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE is a specification for connecting the users on an

 

Ethernet to the Internet through a common broadband medium, such as a DSL or cable modem.

 

All the users over the Ethernet share a common connection.
