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.
triggers Triggers are used to deal with application protocols that create separate
sessions. Some applications, such as NetMeeting, open secondary connections during normal
operations, for example, a connection to a server is established using one port, but data
transfers are performed on a separate connection. A trigger tells the device to expect these
secondary sessions and how to handle them.
Once you set a trigger, the embedded IP address of each incoming packet is replaced by the
correct host address so that NAT can translate packets to the correct destination. You can
specify whether you want to carry out address replacement, and if so, whether to replace
addresses on TCP packets only, UDP packets only, or both.
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 (CAT 3) is used for 10BASE-T networks, and an even higher grade
called Category 5 (CAT 5) is used for 100BASE-T networks. See
10BASE-T, 100BASE-T,

unnumbered interfaces
An unnumbered interface is an IP interface that does not have a local subnet associated
with it. Instead, it uses a router-id that serves as the source and destination address of packets
sent to and from the router. Unlike the IP address of a normal interface, the router-id of an
unnumbered interface is allowed to be the same as the IP address of another interface. For
example, the WAN unnumbered interface of your device uses the same IP address of the LAN
interface (192.168.1.1).
The unnumbered interface is temporary – PPP or DHCP will assign a ‘real’ IP address
automatically.
upstream The direction of data transmission from the user to the Internet.
VC Virtual Circuit
A connection from your DSL router to your ISP.
VCI Virtual Circuit Identifier
Together with the Virtual Path Identifier (VPI), the VCI uniquely identifies a VC. Your ISP will tell
you the VCI for each VC they provide. See VC .
VPI Virtual Path Identifier
Together with the Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI), the VPI uniquely identifies a VC. Your ISP will tell
you the VPI for each VC they provide. See VC .
WAN Wide Area Network
Any network spread over a large geographical area, such as a country or continent. With respect
to the Integrated Access Device, WAN refers to the Internet.
Web browser A software program that uses Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to download
information from (and upload to) web sites, and displays the information, which may consist
of text, graphic images, audio, or video, to the user. Web browsers use Hyper-Text Transfer
Protocol (HTTP). Popular web browsers include Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer. See HTTP, web site, WWW .
