Chapter 7 Internet Setup ADSL Terms A Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) is the connection for your device to the ISP. You need a Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and a Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) to identify a PVC. Multiplexing is a way of carrying protocols on a PVC. Your ISP should supply you with all this information. WAN IP Address The WAN IP address is an IP address for the ZyXEL Device, which makes it accessible from an outside network. It is used by the ZyXEL Device to communicate with other devices in other networks. It can be static (fixed) or dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the ZyXEL Device tries to access the Internet. If your ISP assigns you a static WAN IP address, they should also assign you the subnet mask and DNS server IP address(es) (and a gateway IP address if you use the Ethernet or ENET ENCAP encapsulation method). ATM QoS Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a LAN and WAN networking technology that provides high-speed data transfer. ATM uses fixed-size packets of information called cells. With ATM, a high QoS (Quality of Service) can be guaranteed. QoS is a service agreement that guarantees certain speed even when the network is congested. ATM QoS is defined by the Peak Cell Rate (PCR), Sustain Cell Rate (SCR) and Maximum Burst Size (MBS). NAT NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet, for example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network to a different IP address known within another network. Multicast Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1 recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on the network - not everybody and not just one. IGMP Internet Group Multicast Protocol (IGMP) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership in a Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. There are three versions of IGMP. IGMP version 2 is an improvement over version 1, but IGMP version 1 is still in wide use. IGMP version 3 supports source filtering, reporting or ignoring traffic from specific source address to a particular host on the network.

ADSL Terms

A Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) is the connection for your device to the ISP. You need a

Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and a Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) to identify a PVC.

Multiplexing is a way of carrying protocols on a PVC. Your ISP should supply you with all

this information.

WAN IP Address

The WAN IP address is an IP address for the ZyXEL Device, which makes it accessible from

an outside network. It is used by the ZyXEL Device to communicate with other devices in

other networks. It can be static (fixed) or dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the

ZyXEL Device tries to access the Internet.

If your ISP assigns you a static WAN IP address, they should also assign you the subnet mask

and DNS server IP address(es) (and a gateway IP address if you use the Ethernet or ENET

ENCAP encapsulation method).

ATM QoS

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a LAN and WAN networking technology that

provides high-speed data transfer. ATM uses fixed-size packets of information called cells.

With ATM, a high QoS (Quality of Service) can be guaranteed. QoS is a service agreement

that guarantees certain speed even when the network is congested. ATM QoS is defined by the

Peak Cell Rate (PCR), Sustain Cell Rate (SCR) and Maximum Burst Size (MBS).

NAT

NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a

host in a packet, for example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one

network to a different IP address known within another network.

Multicast

Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1

recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to

a group of hosts on the network - not everybody and not just one.

IGMP

Internet Group Multicast Protocol (IGMP) is a network-layer protocol used to establish

membership in a Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. There are three versions of

IGMP. IGMP version 2 is an improvement over version 1, but IGMP version 1 is still in wide

use. IGMP version 3 supports source filtering, reporting or ignoring traffic from specific

source address to a particular host on the network.
