Configuration: Basic Gateway TCP/IP Wireless USB

symbol rate Also known as baud rate, is a measure of the number of times per second a signal in a communications channel varies, or makes a transition between states (states being frequencies, voltage levels or phase angles). Usually measured in symbols per second (sps).

SYSLOG

A de-facto UNIX standard for logging system events.

TCP

Transmission Control Protocol on OSI transport layer four, provides reliable transport over the network

 

for data transmitted using IP (network layer three). It is an end-to-end protocol defining rules and

 

procedures for data exchange between hosts on top of connectionless IP. TCP uses a timer to track

 

outstanding packets, checks error in incoming packets, and retransmits packets if requested.

TCP/IP

The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol suite provides standards and rules for data

 

communication between networks on the Internet. It is the worldwide internetworking standard and the

 

basic communications protocol of the Internet.

TFTP

Trivial File Transfer Protocol is a very simple protocol used to transfer files.

TKIP

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol

transparent

A method to enable all hosts on the wired Ethernet LAN, WLAN, and USB connection to communicate

bridging

as if they were all connected to the same physical network.

transport layer

Layer of the OSI concerned with protocols for error recognition and recovery. This layer also regulates

 

information flow.

trunk

Electronic path over which data is transmitted.

TTL

The time to live is the number of routers (or hops) a packet can traverse before being discarded. When

 

a router processes a packet, it decreases the TTL by 1. When the TTL reaches zero, the packet is

 

discarded.

tunnel

To place packets inside other packets to send over a network. The protocol of the enclosing packet is

 

understood by each endpoint, or tunnel interface, where the packet enters and exits the network.

 

VPNs rely on tunneling to create a secure network.

 

Tunneling requires the following protocol types:

 

A carrier protocol, such as TCP, used by the network that the data travels over

 

An encapsulating protocol, such as IPSec, L2F, L2TP, or PPTP, that is wrapped around the original

 

data

 

A passenger protocol, such as IP, for the original data

two-way

A cable system that can transmit signals in both directions to and from the headend and the

 

subscriber.
