GLOSSARY135 TCP/IPTransmission Control Protocol/Inter net Protocol. This is the name for two of the most well-known protocols developed for the interconnection of networks. Originally a UNIX standard, TCP/IP is now supported on almost all platforms, and is the protocol of the Internet. TCP relates to the content of the dat a travelling through a network — ensuring that the information sent arrives in one piece when it reaches its destination. IP relates to the address of the end station to which data is being sent, as well as the addr ess of the destination network. Tr a f f i c The movement of data packets on a network. universal plug and playUniversal plug and play is a system which allows compatible applications to read some of their settings from the Router. This allows them to automatically configure some, or all, of their settings and need less user configuration. URL Filter A URL Filter is a feature of a firewall that allows it to stop its clients form browsing inappropriate Web sites. WAN Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in geographically separate areas (for example, different buildings, cities, or countries). The Internet is an example of a wide area network. WDS Wireless Distribution System. A system that can be comprised of a bridging and/or a repeater mode. In wireless bridging, APs communicate only with each other to bridge together two separate networks. In wireless repeating, APs rebroadca st received signals to extend reach and range, at the expense of throughp ut. The Router uses wireless repeating. WECA Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance. An industry group formed to certify cross vendor interoperability and compatibility of 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networking products and to promote the standard for enterprise, small business and home environments. (see also 802.11b, 802.11g, Wi-Fi) WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy. A shared key encryption mechanism for wireless networking. Encryption strength is 40/64 bit or 128 bit.
