MAC address	The Media Access Control address is a unique, 48-bit value permanently saved in ROM at the factory to
	identify each Ethernet network device. It is expressed as a sequence of 12 hexadecimal digits printed
	on a Label on the Rear of the SBG900. You need to provide the HFC MAC address to the cable
	provider. Also called an Ethernet address, physical address, hardware address, or NIC address.
MB	One megabyte; equals 1,024 x 1,024 bytes, 1,024 kilobytes, or about 8 million bits.
Mbps	Million bits per second (megabits per second). A rate of data transfer.
media	The various physical environments through which signals pass; for example, coaxial, unshielded
	twisted-pair (UTP), or fiber-optic cable.
MIB	A management information base is a unique hierarchical structure of software objects used by the
	SNMP manager and agent to configure, monitor, or test a device.
MHz	Megahertz — one million cycles per second. A measure of radio frequency.
MPDU	MAC protocol data unit (PDU)
MSDU	MAC service data unit
MSO	Multiple Systems Operator. A company that owns and operates more than one cable system. Also
	called a group operator.
MTU	The Maximum Transmission Unit is the largest amount of data that can be transmitted in one discrete
	message on a given physical network. The MTU places an upper bound on the size of a message that
	can be transferred by the network in a single frame. Messages exceeding the MTU must be fragmented
	before transmission, and reassembled at the destination.
multicast	A data transmission sent from one sender to multiple receivers. See also broadcast and unicast.
mW	milliwatts
