IP Addressing A The Internet Protocol Suite The Internet protocol suite consists of a well-defined set of communications protocols and several standard application protocols. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is probably the most widely known and is a combination of two of the protocols (IP and TCP) working together.

Type Two In larger networks, where there are more devices, the IP address of ‘192.168.1.8’ is, again, split into two parts but is structured differently: • Part one (‘192.168’) identifies the network on which the device resides. • Part two (‘.1.8’) identifies the device within the network. This type of IP Address operates on a subnet mask of ‘255.255.0.0’. How does a Device Obtain an IP Address and Subnet Mask? There are three different ways to obtain an IP address and the subnet mask.

C Glossary 802.11b The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 11 Mbps. The standard provides for 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps data rates. The rates will switch automatically depending on range and environment. 802.11g The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 54 Mbps. The standard provides for 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps data rates. The rates will switch automatically depending on range and environment. 802.

Auto-negotiation Some devices in the range support auto-negotiation. Auto-negotiation is where two devices sharing a link, automatically configure to use the best common speed. The order of preference (best first) is: 100BASE-TX full duplex, 100BASE-TX half duplex, 10BASE-T full duplex, and 10BASE-T half duplex. Auto-negotiation is defined in the IEEE 802.3 standard for Ethernet and is an operation that takes place in a few milliseconds.

DNS Server Address DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers to have a domain name (such as adbglobal.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.168.10.8). A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing “adbglobal.com” into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address.

Full Duplex A system that allows packets to be transmitted and received at the same time and, in effect, doubles the potential throughput of a link. IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. This American organization was founded in 1963 and sets standards for computers and communications. IETF Internet Engineering Task Force. An organization responsible for providing engineering solutions for TCP/IP networks.

LAN Local Area Network. A network of end stations (such as PCs, printers, servers) and network devices (hubs and switches) that cover a relatively small geographic area (usually not larger than a floor or building). LANs are characterized by high transmission speeds over short distances (up to 1000 metres). MAC Media Access Control. A protocol specified by the IEEE for determining which devices have access to a network at any one time. MAC Address Media Access Control Address.
PAGE 104
Protocol A set of rules for communication between devices on a network. The rules dictate format, timing, sequencing and error control. PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network. PPPoA Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM. PPP over ATM is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection. PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet.
PAGE 105
Subnets A network that is a component of a larger network. Switch A device that interconnects several LANs to form a single logical LAN that comprises of several LAN segments. Switches are similar to bridges, in that they connect LANs of a different type; however they connect more LANs than a bridge and are generally more sophisticated. TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This is the name for two of the most well-known protocols developed for the interconnection of networks.

VCI VCI - Virtual Channel Identifier. The identifier in the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) cell header that identifies to which virtual channel the cell belongs. VPI VPI - Virtual Path Identifier. The field in the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) cell header that identifies to which VP (Virtual Path) the cell belongs. WAN Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in geographically separate areas (for example, different buildings, cities, or countries).
