Protocol A set of rules governing the transmission of data.
In order for a data transmission to work, both ends
of the connection have to follow the rules of the
protocol.
Remote In a physically separate location. For example, an
employee away on travel who logs in to the
company’s intranet is a remote user.
RIP Routing Information Protocol
The original TCP/IP routing protocol. There are
two versions of RIP: version I and version II.
Routing Forwarding data between your network and the
Internet on the most efficient route, based on the
data’s destination IP address and current network
conditions. A device that performs routing is called
a router.
Subnet A subnet is a portion of a network. The subnet is
distinguished from the larger network by a subnet
mask that selects some of the computers of the
network and excludes all others. The subnet's
computers remain physically connected to the rest
of the parent network, but they are treated as
though they were on a separate network. See
network mask.
Subnet mask A mask that defines a subnet. See network mask.
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
The basic protocols used on the Internet. TCP is
responsible for dividing data up into packets for
delivery and reassembling them at the destination,
while IP is responsible for delivering the packets
from source to destination. When TCP and IP are
bundled with higher-level applications such as
HTTP, FTP, Telnet, etc., TCP/IP refers to this
whole suite of protocols.
Telnet An interactive, character-based program used to
access a remote computer. While HTTP (the web
protocol) and FTP only allow you to download files
from a remote computer, Telnet allows you to log
into and use a computer from a remote location.
TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol
A protocol for file transfers, TFTP is easier to use
than File Transfer Protocol (FTP) but not as
capable or secure.
TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) provides
WPA with a data encryption function. It ensures
that a unique master key is generated for each
packet, supports message integrity and
sequencing rules and supports re-keying
mechanisms.
Twisted pair The ordinary copper telephone wiring used by
telephone companies. It contains one or more wire
pairs twisted together to reduce inductance and
noise. Each telephone line uses one pair. In
homes, it is most often installed with two pairs. For
Ethernet LANs, a higher grade called Category 3
