Subnet mask
A subnet mask is used in one IP address as a net- work address and host address. Assuming that the IP address of a host is “192.168.0.1” and the subnet mask is “255.255.255.0” multiply the IP address of binary notation and subnet mask of binary notation together, and the network address “192.168.0.0” is obtained. Then, the remainder “1” is the host address.
Traffic
Flow of packets on the network or load applied to the network line (e.g., data transmitted through the network line). As the traffic increases, the data transmission rate may decrease or data may be lost.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
