PPPoE: Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a secure data

transmission method originally created for dial-up connections. PPPoE relies on two widely

accepted standards, Ethernet and the Point-to-Point Protocol. It is a communications protocol

for transmitting information over Ethernet between different manufacturers

Protocol: A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple parties so

that when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the interpretation of their

behavior is well defined and can be made objectively without confusion or misunderstanding.

Access point: An access point is an intelligent network device that forwards packets between

different networks based on network layer address information such as IP addresses.

Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by

your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used

to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP

address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC).

TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable

Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data transmission over the

Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol. TCP performs proper error detection

and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the other hand is not reliable. They both run on

top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a network layer protocol.

WAN: Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in geographically

separate areas (e.g. different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network.

Web-based management Graphical User Interface (GUI): Many devices support a graphical

user interface that is based on the web browser. This means the user can use the familiar

Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer to Control/configure or monitor the device being

managed.
