IP Address

Internet Protocol Address

Guaranteed unique address, assigned by the

 

 

Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and

 

 

Numbers (ICANN). IP address includes four

 

 

“octets” (eight bits, translating to integers from 0 to

 

 

255), separated by periods.

 

 

ICANN assigns three classes of addresses:

 

 

Class A – first (leftmost) octet is assigned; the

 

 

three rightmost octets are assignable to the owner

 

 

of the Class A address.

 

 

Class B – first and second (leftmost) octets are

 

 

assigned, the remaining two are assignable by the

 

 

owner of the Class B address

 

 

Class C – the three leftmost octets are assigned;

 

 

only the rightmost octet is user-assignable. The

 

 

number 0 is reserved for router connections to

 

 

another network, 127 for loopback testing, and 255

 

 

for broadcast to all computers on the network.

ISDN

Integrated Services Digital

Digital service provided by telephone companies.

 

Network

 

Jabber

Corrupted and/or incessant

Caused by a failed Network Interface Card, or by a

 

data transmitted onto a

computer device that transmits packets whose

 

network.

length violates network rules.

Kbps

Kilobits per second

Transmission speed.

Kermit

A program used widely for

 

 

file transfer and terminal

 

 

emulation.

 

LAN

Local Area Network

Networked devices, logically isolated from other

 

 

networks and devices.

Latency

Delay in transmission

 

 

caused by a Switch or

 

 

Bridge in forwarding a

 

 

message.

 

Layer

One of the seven layers in

 

 

the OSI model.

 

LLC

Logical Link Control layer

Layer 2 of the OSI Model

Load balancing

Transferring tasks from

 

 

heavily-loaded resources to

 

 

less-loaded resources.

 

Logical Link

A temporary connection

 

 

between source and

 

 

destination devices.

 

MAC

Media Access Control

Ethernet Interface (transceiver, software to

 

 

physical media)

MAC Address

MAC coded ID

Unique code “burned" into firmware by the device

 

 

manufacturer.

MAU

Medium Attachment Unit

(Also see AUI, MDI, MAC)

MDI

Medium Dependent

Physical connector at cable end (e.g., RJ-45 plug

 

Interface

on Ethernet CAT 5 cable.) (Also see AUI, MAU)
