TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This is the name for two
of the most well-known protocols developed for the interconnection of
networks. Originally a UNIX standard, TCP/IP is now supported on almost
all platforms, and is the protocol of the Internet.
TCP relates to the content of the data travelling through a network —
ensuring that the information sent arrives in one piece when it reaches its
destination. IP relates to the address of the end station to which data is
being sent, as well as the address of the destination network.
Traffic
The movement of data packets on a network.
Universal Plug and
Play
Universal Plug and Play is a system which allows compatible applications
to read some of their settings from the Router. This allows them to
automatically configure some, or all, of their settings and need less user
configuration.
URL Filter
A URL Filter is a feature of a firewall that allows it to stop its clients form
browsing inappropriate Web sites.
WAN
Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in
geographically separate areas (for example, different buildings, cities, or
countries). The Internet is an example of a wide area network.
WDS
Wireless Distribution System. WDS enables one or more access points to
rebroadcast received signals to extend range and reach, though this can
affect the overall throughput of data.
WECA
Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance. An industry group formed to
certify cross vendor interoperability and compatibility of 802.11b and
802.11g wireless networking products and to promote the standard for
enterprise, small business and home environments. (see 802.11b,
802.11g, Wi-Fi)
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy. A shared key encryption mechanism for wireless
networking. Encryption strength is 40/64 bit or 128 bit.
Wi-Fi
Wireless Fidelity. This is the certification granted by WECA to products
that meet their interoperability criteria. (see also 802.11b, WECA)
