A peer is the endpoint of a communication in the network.
See IKE.
The Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) enables the dynamic rout-
ing of multicast packets on the Internet.
Ping is a diagnostic tool that can be used to check whether a partic-
ular host in an IP network can be contacted. A measurement is
taken of the time interval between sending a data packet (ICMP(v6)
echo request packet) and receiving a response packet sent back im-
mediately. This enables the connection quality to be determined.
The Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) are standards for
public key cryptography. The PKCS are designed for binary and AS-
CII data and are compatible with the X.509 standard. The public
standards are PKCS #1, #3, #5, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12 and #15.
PKCS #10 describes the syntax for certification inquiries.
A public key infrastructure (PKI) is used to issue, distribute and veri-
fy digital certificates for an encryption procedure.
The Path MTU (PMTU) describes the maximum packet size that can
be transmitted along the entire connection route without needing to
be fragmented.
Point-to-multipoint connection is an ISDNB connection. It is used to
connect ISDN terminals. Multiple subscriber numbers (MSNs) are
provided. See also Point-to-point ISDN access

Point-to-point ISDN access refers to an ISDN connection that is also
called point-to-point. It is used to connect a PBX. A point-to-point
number and a number block are issued. Each of the numbers in the
number block is called a direct dial exception. (Example: Point-
to-point connection number: 1234, number block: 1 - 99, numbers of
the individual extensions: 1234-1, 1234-2, 1234-3, …) See also
Point-to-multipoint connection.
An address pool is a collection of IP addresses that can be assigned
to the connected clients, e. g. by DHCP.
