DSL
DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. DSL transfers high-bandwidth information
and data to homes and small businesses through copper telephone lines. It is
predicted to replace IDSN in bringing both motion, 3-D, voice and data signals to
the users.
ESS
One of three IEEE 802.11 basic topology schemes. ESS WLAN configurations
consist of multiple BSS cells that can be linked by either wired or wireless
backbones. IEEE 802.11 supports ESS configurations in which multiple cells use
the same channel, and configurations in which multiple cells use different
channels to boost aggregate throughput.
Dynamic IP address
A dynamic IP address is an IP address that is given out automatically from a
DHCP Server to client computers or routers on a LAN or WAN.
Firewall
A device that protects information in the internal private network from the outside
network.
Firmware
A program code that is inserted into a programmable read-only memory to
become a computing device. It is created and tested like a software.
Gateway
An entrance to a network. It associates with both router and switch whereas the
router gives direction as data arrives at the gateway and the switch, on the other
hand, furnishes its actual path in and out of the gateway.
HTTP
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an application protocol and a set of rules for
file exchange on the World Wide Web.
IEEE
Abbreviation of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Founded in 1884,
the IEEE is an organization composed of engineers, scientists, and students. The
IEEE is best known for developing standards for the computer and electronics
industry. In particular, the IEEE 802 standards for local area networks are widely
adopted.
IEEE 802.11 Standard
In wireless LAN technology, 802.11 refers to standards set by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers. There are three specifications in the family,
802.11, 802.11a and 802.11b. 802.11 and 802.11b refer to wireless Ethernet LANs
and operate at frequencies around the 2.4 GHz range. 802.11 generally have data
speeds of 1 or 2 Mbps while 802.11b can have speeds of 5.5 or 11 Mbps. 802.11b
can also realize speeds up to 20 Mbps. 802.11a refers to wireless ATM systems
and operates at frequencies between 5 to 6 G Hz.
Infrastructure
This type of network is a wireless or other type of small network where the
