SSH Network protocol that allows data to be exchanged over a secure channel
between two computers
SSL Secure Sockets Layer
SSID Service Set Identifier: An identifier that is attached to packets sent over the
wireless LAN and functions as a password for joining a particular radio cell;

SVP Spectralink Voice Protocol: an open standard for the prioritization of voice
traffic on wireless and wired LANs.
TCP Transmission Control Protocol
TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol: A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for
software downloads.
TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol: A data encryption method designed as a
replacement for WEP. TKIP avoids the problems of WEP static keys by
dynamically changing data encryption keys.
TLS Transport Layer Security
TOS Type of Service: can be used to mark prioritization or special handling for IP
packets.
TTLS Tunneled Transport Layer Security
UDP User Datagram Protocol
VAP Virtual Access Point: Virtual AP technology multiplies the number of Access
Points present within the RF footprint of a single physical access device.
With Virtual AP technology, WLAN users within the device’s footprint can
associate with what appears to be different Wi²s and their associated network
services. All the services are delivered using a single radio channel, enabling
Virtual AP technology to optimize the use of limited WLAN radio spectrum.
VLAN Virtual Local Area Network: A group of devices on one or more LANs that
are configured with the same VLAN ID so that they can communicate as if
they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on a
number of different LAN segments. Used also to create separation between
different user groups.
VPN Virtual private network
VSC Virtual network.
