PAP/CHAP: | Password Authentication Protocol and Challenge Handshake |
| Authentication Protocol (PAP/CHAP). Most ISPs use either one for |
| user identification. If your ISP doesn’t support these two protocols, |
| contact them for an authentication script. |
PCI: | Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) is a specification introduced |
| by Intel Corporation that defines a local bus system that allows up to 10 |
| |
PPP: | Short for |
| transmitting information over standard telephone lines between devices |
| from different manufacturers. |
PPPoE: | Short for PPP over Ethernet, relying on two widely accepted standards, |
| Ethernet and the |
| protocol for transmitting information over the Ethernet between devices |
| from different manufacturers. |
Router: | An Internet device that routes requests for information to other routers |
| until the information’s location is found and the data can be transmitted |
| back to the origin of the request. |
TCP/IP: | Short for Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol, the suite |
| of communications protocols that enable hosts on the Internet to connect |
| and exchange streams of data. |
MRU: | Maximum Receive Unit indicates the peer of PPP connection the |
| maximum size of the PPP information field this device can be received. |
| The default value is 1492 and is used in the beginning of the PPP |
| negotiation. In the normal negotiation, the peer will accept this MRU |
| and will not send packet with information field larger than this value. |
MTU: | Maximum Transmission Unit indicates the network stack of any packet |
| is larger than this value will be fragmented before the transmission. |
| During the PPP negotiation, the peer of the PPP connection will |
| indicates its MRU and will be accepted. The actual MTU of the PPP |
| connection will be set to the smaller one of MTU and the peer’s MRU. |
| The default is value 1492. |
MSS: | Maximum Segment Size is the largest size of data that TCP will send in a |
| single IP packet. When a connection is established between a LAN client |
| and a host in the WAN side, the LAN client and the WAN host will |
| indicate their MSS during the TCP connection handshake. The default |
| value is 1432. |
UBR: | Short for Unspecified bit rate. |
WAN: | Wide Area Network. A System of LANs connected by telephone lines |
| and/or radio waves. |
