rates, the buffer provides a waiting station where the data can wait until the device for which it is meant is ready to access it. Subnet Mask SUBNETwork mask. The method used to determine which subgroup, or subnet, an IP address belongs to on TCP/IP networks, all devices whose IP addresses have the same prefix would belong to the same subnet. Dividing a network into subnets is useful for both security and performance reasons. Switching hub A network connection box to which a number of computers can be connected. The switching hub forwards a data packet from the network to the appropriate computer according to the packet's address. Conventional hubs simply send every packet to every 3 connected computer. Since a switching hub forwards packets only to their intended recipients, it provides greater efficiency. Appendix TCP/IP Acronym for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The protocol used to connect to the Internet and to wide-area networks. URL Uniform Resource Locator. A standard way of specifying the location of an object, usually a web page, on the Internet. The URL for a web page would look something like this: "http://www.w3.org/default.html". Here, "http:" indicates that a web page is being accessed, "http://www.w3.org" is the address of the server containing the web page, and "default.html" is the file name under which the web page is stored on the server.

Subnet Mask
SUBNETwork mask. The method used to determine which subgroup, or subnet, an IP
address belongs to on TCP/IP networks, all devices whose IP addresses have the same
prefix would belong to the same subnet. Dividing a network into subnets is useful for both
security and performance reasons.
Switching hub
A network connection box to which a number of computers can be connected. The
switching hub forwards a data packet from the network to the appropriate computer
according to the packet’s address. Conventional hubs simply send every packet to every
connected computer. Since a switching hub forwards packets only to their intended
recipients, it provides greater efficiency.
TCP/IP
Acronym for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The protocol used to
connect to the Internet and to wide-area networks.
URL
Uniform Resource Locator. A standard way of specifying the location of an object, usually
a web page, on the Internet. The URL for a web page would look something like this:
"http://www.w3.org/default.html". Here, “http:” indicates that a web page is being
accessed, “http://www.w3.org”
is the address of the server containing the web page, and
“default.html” is the file name under which the web page is stored on the server.
