LDAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. A software protocol
for enabling anyone to locate organizations, individuals, and
other resources such as files and devices in a network,
whether on the Internet or on a corporate intranet. LDAP is a

Network Mask A number used by software to separate the local subnet
address from the rest of a given Internet protocol address
Network masks divide IP addresses into two parts (network
address and address of a particular host within the network).
Mask have the same form as IP addresses (i.e.
255.255.255.0), however, its value is needed to be understood
as a 32-bit number with certain number of ones on the left
end and zeros as the rest. The mask cannot have an arbitrary
value. The primary function of a subnet mask is to define the
number of IP hosts that participate in an IP subnet.
Computers in the same IP subnet should not require a router
for network communication.
