Firewall
A set of related programs, located at a network gateway server that protects the resources
of a private network from users from other networks.
Frame
A frame is a single data packet that is transmitted across a network.
FTP
An application protocol commonly used to transfer Web page files from their creator to
the computer that acts as their server for everyone on the Internet. Also commonly used
to download programs and other files to your computer from other servers.
Gateway
A combination of hardware and software that links two different types of networks.
Gigabyte
A Gigabyte is one trillion Bytes of data. Most hard disk drive manufacturers follow the
metric conventions of Kilobyte, Megabyte, and Gigabytes for specifying the drive
capacity on their label and specifications (for example, 1000 B =1 KB, 1000 KB=1 MB
and 1000 MB=1 GB) instead of the 1024 convention.
For example, given a manufacturer-specified 18.4 GB hard disk, the actual capacity
reported by the disk is 17930455 KB = 17930455 *1024 = 18360785920 Bytes. This, if
converted to metric convention, results in the specified 18.36 GB capacity rounded up.
Thus, the actual capacity of the 18.4GB drive is displayed as 17.1 GB.
Group
A group is a number of users that are bunched together. Having a group makes it easier to
assign a set of rules that are common to a set of users. Common groups can be
Accounting, Sales, Marketing, and so on.
Host
A computer that is connected to a TCP/IP network, including the Internet. Each host has
a unique IP address.
HTTP

sound, video, and other multimedia files) on the World Wide Web.
