TCP
A layer-4 protocol used along with the IP to send data between computers over the
Internet. While IP takes care of handling the actual delivery of the data, TCP takes
care of keeping track of the packets that a message is divided into for efficient
routing through the Internet.
Turbo A
Turbo A is an Atheros proprietary turbo mode to increase speed over standard
802.11a mode. It uses channel binding technology to increase speed. There are 2
types of Turbo A modes: Dynamic Turbo and Static Turbo. In Dynamic Turbo, the
channel binding will be used only if necessary. In Static Turbo, the channel binding is
always on. This protocol may be combined with Super-A model to increase the
performance even more. The used of channel binding might be prohibited in EU
countries.
TX Output Power
Transmit Output Power. The TX output power means the transmission output power
of the radio. Normally, the TX output power level limit for 2.4GHz 11g/b is 20dBm at
the antenna end. The output power limit for 5GHz 802.11a is 30dBm at the antenna
end.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
A layer-4 network protocol for transmitting data which does not require
acknowledgement from the recipient of the data.
