TCP/IP, UDP:
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is
the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol. TCP performs
proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the other hand is not reliable. They both run on top of
the IP (Internet Protocol), a network layer protocol.
WAN:
Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in geographically separate areas (e.g. different
buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network.
Web-based management Graphical User Interface (GUI):
