PPP	Point-to-Point Protocol A protocol for serial data transmis-
	sion that is used to carry IP (and other protocol) data
	between your ISP and your computer. The WAN interface
	on the My ADSL Modem uses two forms of PPP called PP-
	PoA and PPPoE. See also PPPoA, PPPoE.
PPPoA	Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM One of the two types of
	PPP interfaces you can define for a Virtual Circuit (VC),
	the other type being PPPoE. You can define only one PP-
	PoA interface per VC.
PPPoE	Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet One of the two
	types of PPP interfaces you can define for a Virtual Circuit
	(VC),the other type being PPPoA. You can define one or
	more PPPoE interfaces per VC.
protocol	A set of rules governing the transmission of data. In order
	for a data transmission to work, both ends of the connec-
	tion have to follow the rules of the protocol.
remote	In a physically separate location. For example, an
	employee away on travel who logs in to the company’s
	intranet is a remote user.
RIP	Routing Information Protocol The original TCP/IP routing
	protocol. There are two versions of RIP: version and ver-
	sion II.
RJ-11	Registered Jack Standard-11 The standard plug used to
	connect telephones, fax machines, modems, etc. to a
	telephone jack. It is a 6-pin connector usually containing
	four wires.
RJ-45	Registered Jack Standard-45 The 8-pin plug used in
	transmitting data over phone lines. Ethernet cabling usu-
	ally uses this type of connector.
routingg­	Forwarding data between your network and the Internet
	on the most efficient route, based on the data’s destina-
	tion IP address and current network conditions. A device
	that performs routing is called a router.
rule	See filtering rule, NAT rule.
SDNS	Secondary Domain Name System (server) A DNS server
	that can be used if the primary DSN server is not avail-
	able. See DNS.
splitter	A device that splits off the voice component of the DSL
	signal to a separate line, so that data and telephone
	service each have their own wiring and jacks. The splitter
	is installed by your telephone company where the DSL
	line enters your home. The CO also contains splitters that
	separate the voice and data signals, sending voice to the
	PSTN and data on high-speed lines to the Internet. See
	also CO, PSTN, splitterless, microfilter.
