Spoofing
A method of fooling network end stations into believing that keep alive signals have come from
and returned to the host. Polls are received and returned locally at either end
Static IP Addresses
A static IP address is an IP address permanently assigned to computer in a TCP/IP network. Static
IP addresses are usually assigned to networked devices that are consistently accessed by
multiple users, such as Server PCs, or printers. If you are using your Router to share your cable or
DSL Internet connection, contact your ISP to see if they have assigned your home a static IP
address. You will need that address during your Router's configuration.
Subnet
For routing purposes, IP networks can be divided into logical subnets by using a subnet mask.
Values below those of the mask are valid addresses on the subnet.
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol - The major transport protocol in the Internet suite of protocols
provides reliable, connection-oriented full-duplex streams.
TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol - A simple file transfer protocol (a simplified version of FTP) that is
often used to boot diskless workstations and other network devices such as routers over a network
(typically a LAN).
Telnet
The virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols - Allows users of one host to log into
a remote host and act as normal terminal users of that host.
Transparent bridging
So named because the intelligence necessary to make relaying decisions exists in the bridge itself
and is thus transparent to the communicating workstations. It involves frame forwarding, learning
workstation addresses and ensuring no topology loops exist (in conjunction with the
Spanning-Tree algorithm).
UDP
User Datagram Protocol - A connectionless transport protocol that runs on top of TCP/IP's IP.
