GLOSSARY Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out toward the destination. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives every computer on your home network an IP address.
11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000, it means the device’s network address is 11011001.10110000.10010000.00000000, and its host ID is 00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and efficient method for routers to route IP packets to their destination. ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP). This is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. ISP: Internet Service Provider.
Protocol: A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon among multiple parties so that when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the interpretation of their behavior is well defined and can be made objectively, without confusion or misunderstanding.
