AARP. Used to map the MAC addresses of Apple computers to their AppleTalk network 
addresses, so that conversions can be made in both directions. 

Application layer 

7th Layer of the OSI model. Provides services to applications to ensure that they can 
communicate properly with other applications on a network. 

ASCII 

American Standard Code for Information Interchange. This system of characters is most 
commonly used for text files 

Attenuation 

The loss in strength of digital and analog signals. The loss is greater when the signal is being 
transmitted over long distances. 

Authentication 

To provide credentials, like a Password, in order to verify that the person or device is really who 
they are claiming to be 

Automatic Private IP Addressing 

APIPA. An IP address that that a Windows computer will assign itself when it is configured to 
obtain an IP address automatically but no DHCP server is available on the network 

Backward Compatible 

The ability for new devices to communicate and interact with older legacy devices to guarantee 
interoperability 

Bandwidth 

The maximum amount of bytes or bits per second that can be transmitted to and from a network 
device 

Basic Input/Output System 

BIOS. A program that the processor of a computer uses to startup the system once it is turned 
on 

Baud 

Data transmission speed 

Beacon 

A data frame by which one of the stations in a Wi-Fi network periodically broadcasts network 
control data to other wireless stations.
