when parents want to make sure that their children do not access certain web sites.
IP Multicast
A protocol that allows only one copy of data to be sent out for multiple destinations in
the network. This allows the network bandwidth to be used most effectively for
multimedia applications.
IPX Address
The network layer address for the IPX protocol, which contains a 4-byte network
number (unique for each LAN segment and frame type combination), the 6-byte
MAC address of the device, and the 2-byte socket number that maps to the particular
application in the device.
IPX Network Number
A unique identifier for an IPX network, which is also the beginning 4-bytes of a 12-
byte IPX address. It is unique for each LAN segment and frame type combination.
IPX RIP
The IPX Routing Information Protocol, which is used for exchanging and
maintaining the IPX routing table with neighboring routers.
IPX SAP
IPX SAP (Service Advertising Protocol) is a protocol used for advertising services
available from IPX devices and for exchanging server tables among IPX SAP devices
(agents). For example, the SAP table is broadcasted either periodically or whenever
there is a change in the SAP table, or when the IPX SAP device receives SAP table
queries from other IPX SAP devices.
LAN & WAN
Local Area Network & Wide Area Network. Common LAN technologies include
Ethernet, Token Ring, Fast Ethernet. WAN technologies include analog modem,
leased lines, ISDN, frame relay, and ATM.
LAN to LAN Communication
When two physically disjoint offices of the same company need to communicate and
share data resources with each other, they can use one router on each side and
perform LAN to LAN communication - to allow users on one LAN to access
resources on the other.
MAC Address
The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique identifier for a device with an
Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the
Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are often used as
the product serial number.
