LAN:

Local Area Network (LAN) is a computer network that spans a

 

relatively small area. A system of LANs connected is called a wide area

 

network (WAN).

MACAddress:

Media Access Control Address (MAC) is a hardware address that

 

uniquely identifies each node of a network.

NAT:

Network Address Translation (NAT) is a routing protocol that allows

 

global IP Addresses to be translated into multiple private IP Addresses

 

for use on internal LAN networks. The explosion in the use of the

 

Internet has created a critical problem for the Internet Assigned Numbers

 

Authority (IANA) which is in charge of assigning IP Addresses to

 

Internet users, ISPs etc. NAT is a technology that has been introduced to

 

help maximize the utilization of assigned IANA and global IP Addresses.

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

 

PCI-compliant expansion cards to be installed in the computer.

PPP:Short for Point-to-Point Protocol, a communications protocol 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 Point-to-Point Protocol. PPPoE is a communications

 

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.
