WINS
The
Windows Internet Naming Service
(WINS) is a server process for resolving Windows-based
computer names to IP addresses. It provides information that allows these systems to browse
remote networks using the
Network Neighborhood
.
Wireless Networking Framework
There are two ways of organizing a wireless network:
• Stations communicate directly with one another in an
Ad hoc Mode
network, also known as an
independent basic service set (
IBSS
).
• Stations communicate through an
Access Point
in an
Infrastructure Mode
network. A single
access point creates an infrastructure basic service set (
BSS
) whereas multiple access points
are organized in an extended service set (
ESS
).
WLAN
Wireless Local Area Network
(WLAN) is a
LAN
that uses high-frequency radio waves rather than
wires to communicate between its nodes.
WME
Wireless Multimedia Enhancements
(WME) is a subset of the
802.11e
draft specification. It
uses four priority queues between an
Access Point
and its clients. WME provides an interim,
standards-based
QoS
solution.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA) is a
Wi-Fi
Alliance version of the draft
IEEE 802.11i
standard. It
provides more sophisticated data encryption than
WEP
and also provides user authentication.
WPA includes
TKIP
and
802.1x
mechanisms.
WRAP
Wireless Robust Authentication Protocol
(WRAP) is an encryption method for
802.11i
that uses
AES
but another encryption mode (
OCB
) for encryption and integrity.
XML
The
Extensible Markup Language
(XML) is a specification developed by the
W3C
. XML is a
simple, flexible text format derived from
Standard Generalized Markup Language
(SGML), which
is defined in
ISO 8879:1986
, designed especially for electronic publish
ing.
