GLOSSARY "

IP Subnet

An IP subnet is a single member of the collection of hard- ware networks that compose an IP network. Host address- es on a given subnet share an IP network number with hosts on all other subnets of that IP network, but the local address part is divided into subnet-number and hostnum- ber fields to indicate which subnet a host is on.

IP Wireless Station

An IP wireless station is any PC-compatible computing sta- tion running IP. (A PEN*KEYR computer is an IP wireless station if it is running an off-the-shelf IP protocol stack.)

LAN (Local Area Network)

A LAN is a group of network devices in which each device can communicate through a wired or wireless link. The wired link may be composed of several segments joined by repeaters and bridges. The LAN is characterized by the rel- atively short distance it is designed to cover, a high speed of operation, and relatively low error rates. The geographic scope of LANs is limited to thousands of feet or closely- spaced building complexes.

MAC (Media Access Control) Sublayer

The MAC sublayer is the lower portion of the Data Link layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model.

Mobile IP Wireless Station

In this user’s guide, a mobile IP wireless station is any IP wireless station that can roam across IP subnet boundaries.
