Protocol (HTTP) and Transport Control Protocol (TCP) layers, SSL is a standard
feature in Internet Explorer, Netscape, and most web server products.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) Protocol used to transfer email messages between email
servers.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) An efficient protocol for network management
and device monitoring.
SNMP trap A process that filers SNMP messages and saves or drops them, depending upon how
the system is configured.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) A protocol that prevents bridging loops from forming due to
incorrectly configured networks.
Station (STA) An 802.11 capable device that supports only one 802.11 network interface,
capable of establishing a Basic Service Set 802.11 network (i.e., peer-to-peer
network).
static IP address A permanent IP address assigned to a node in a TCP/IP network.
subnet A portion of a network, designated by a particular set of IP addresses. Provides a
hierarchy for addressing in LANs. Also called a subnetwork.
subnet mask A TCP/IP addressing method for dividing IP-based networks into subgroups or
subnets (compare with maskbits). Each triplet of digits in an IP address consists
of 8 bits. To specify using a subnet mask, indicate the masked bits as an IP
address. To specify the subnet in maskbits, count the number of bits in the prefix.
Example: subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is equivalent to 24 maskbits, which is the
total number of bits in the 255.255.255 prefix.
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) Part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard, TKIP
provides improvements to WEP encryption, including per-packet key mixing,
message integrity check, and a re-keying mechanism.
Traffic Class Identifier (TCID) Part of the standard 802.11 frame header. The 3-bit TCID is used
for mapping to class-of-service values.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) One of the most commonly used
communication protocols in modern networking. Addresses used in TCP/IP
usually consist of four triplets of digits, plus a subnet mask (for example,
192.168.25.3, subnet 255.255.255.0).
Transport Layer Security (TLS) A protocol that provides privacy protection for applications that
communicate with each other and their users on the Internet. TLS is a successor
to the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
True MIMO? The Airgo Networks, Inc. implementation of the data multiplexing technique
known as Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO). MIMO uses multiple
spatially-separated antennas to increase wireless throughput, range, and spectral
efficiency by simultaneously transmitting multiple data streams on the same
frequency channel.
