Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
The basic communication language or protocol of the Internet. It can also be used as a communications
protocol in a private network (either an intranet or an extranet).
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
A simplified version of FTP that transfers files but does not provide password protection, directory capability,
or allow transmission of multiple files with one command.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
An efficient but unreliable, connectionless protocol that is layered over IP, as is TCP. Application programs are
needed to supplement the protocol to provide error processing and retransmission of data. UDP is an OSI
layer 4 protocol.
Voice Over IP (VoIP)
The technology used to transmit voice conversations over a data network using the Internet Protocol. Such
data network may be the Internet or a corporate Intranet.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
A large (geographically dispersed) network, usually constructed with serial lines, that covers a large
geographic area. A WAN connects LANs using transmission lines provided by a common carrier.
