TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) - A method (protocol) used along with

the IP (Internet Protocol) to send data in the form of message units (datagram)

between network devices over a LAN or WAN. While IP takes care of handling

the actual delivery of the data (routing), TCP takes care of keeping track of the

individual units of data (called packets) that a message is divided into for effi-

cient delivery over the network. TCP is known as a "connection oriented" pro-

tocol due to requiring the receiver of a packet to return an acknowledgment of

receipt to the sender of the packet resulting in transmission control.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) - The basic com-

munication language or set of protocols for communications over a network

(developed specifically for the Internet). TCP/IP defines a suite or group of

protocols and not only TCP and IP.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) - A method (protocol) used along with the IP

(Internet Protocol) to send data in the form of message units (datagram)

between network devices over a LAN or WAN. While IP takes care of handling

the actual delivery of the data (routing), UDP takes care of keeping track of the

individual units of data (called packets) that a message is divided into for effi-

cient delivery over the network. UDP is known as a “connection-less” protocol

due to NOT requiring the receiver of a packet to return an acknowledgment of

receipt to the sender of the packet (as opposed to TCP).

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-

bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.

WINIPCFG - Configuration utility based on the Win32 API for querying,

defining, and managing IP addresses within a network. A commonly used util-

ity, under Windows 95, 98, and Millennium, for configuring networks with

static IP addresses.

WLAN - A group of computers and associated devices that communicate with

each other wirelessly. If set to infrastructure mode, the WLAN can communi-

cate with a wired network through a wireless network access point.
