4. Glossary Access Point An interview networking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks Authentication Authentication refers to the verification of a transmitted message’s integrity. DMZ DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) is a part of a network that is located between a secure LAN and an insecure WAN. DMZs provide a way for some clients to have unrestricted access to the Internet.
FTP FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used to transfer files over a TCP/IP network, and is typically used for transferring large files or uploading the HTML pages for a Web site to the Web server. Gateway Gateways are computers that convert protocols enabling different networks, applications, and operating systems to exchange information. Host Name The name given to a computer or client station that acts as a source for information on the network.
MAC Address A MAC address is a unique serial number burned into hardware adapters, giving the adapter a unique identification. Metric A number that indicates how long a packet takes to get to its destination. MTU MTU (Maximum Transmission/Transfer Unit) is the largest packet size that can be sent over a network. Messages larger than the MTU are divided into smaller packets.
PPTP Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol uses TCP to deal data for tunnel maintenance, and uses PPP for sum up the information carried within the tunnel. The data carried within the tunnel can be compressed or encrypted. The encryption method used is RSA RC4. PPTP can operate when the protocol is supported only on the client and the server located on the other end that the client is corresponds with.
TCP/IP TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the main Internet communications protocol. The TCP part ensures that data is completely sent and received at the other end. Another part of the TCP/IP protocol set is UDP, which is used to send data when accuracy and guaranteed packet delivery are not as important (for example, in real-time video and audio transmission).
