NAT
Network Address Translation - A proposal for IP address reuse, where the local IP address is mapped
to a globally unique address.
NVT
Network Virtual Terminal
PAP
Password Authentication Protocol
PORT
The abstraction used by Internet transport protocols to distinguish among multiple simultaneous
connections to a single destination host.
POTS
Plain Old Telephone Service - This is the term used to describe basic telephone service.
PPP
Point-to-Point-Protocol - The successor to SLIP, PPP provides router-to-router and host-to-network
connections over both synchronous and asynchronous circuits.
PPPoE
PPP over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on
connection by simulating a dial-up connection.
Remote server
A network computer allows a user to log on to the network from a distant location.
RFC
Request for Comments - Refers to documents published by the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF) proposing standard protocols and procedures for the Internet. RFCs can be found at

Route
The path that network traffic takes from its source to its destination. The route a datagram may follow
can include many gateways and many physical networks. In the Internet, each datagram is routed
separately.
Router
A system responsible for making decisions about which of several paths network (or Internet) traffic
will follow. To do this, it uses a routing protocol to gain information about the network and algorithms to
choose the best route based on several criteria known as "routing metrics".
routing table
Information stored within a router that contains network path and status information. It is used to select
the most appropriate route to forward information along.
Routing Information Protocol
Routers periodically exchange information with one another so that they can determine minimum
distance paths between sources and destinations.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol - The network management protocol of choice for TCP/IP-
based Internet.
SOCKET
(1) The Berkeley UNIX mechanism for creating a virtual connection between processes.
(2) IBM term for software interfaces that allow two UNIX application programs to talk via TCP/IP
protocols.
