Protocol A set of rules that govern the transmission of data across a network. Examples of protocols are FTP, DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, IPP, and TCP/IP. − FTP: File Transfer Protocol. A client-server protocol allowing a user to transfer files on one computer to and from another computer over a TCP/IP network. The File Transfer Protocol also governs the client program with which the user transfers files. − DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol which automatically specifies the network settings of a client on a TCP/IP network. Many of the settings required to set up TCP/IP, which is the standard protocol of the Internet, can be made automatically. − BOOTP: BOOT strap Protocol. A protocol that enables a client machine to automatically obtain network setup information from a server over a TCP/IP network. BOOTP enables a client to automatically locate such information as the host name, domain name, and IP address, so that it is not necessary to create these items manually. − RARP: Reserve Address Resolution Protocol. A protocol which associates a network adapter address (MAC address) with an Internet Protocol (IP) address. Glossary 3-1

Cookies
A file left on a user’s computer when the user visits a web site. A cookie allows the
web site to recognize the user on subsequent visits. Cookies are generally used to
enable a user to automatically sign on to certain web sites and to customize the
features offered by such sites.
Protocol
A set of rules that govern the transmission of data across a network. Examples of
protocols are FTP, DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, IPP, and TCP/IP.
FTP: File Transfer Protocol. A client-server protocol allowing a user to transfer files
on one computer to and from another computer over a TCP/IP network. The File
Transfer Protocol also governs the client program with which the user transfers files.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol which automatically
specifies the network settings of a client on a TCP/IP network. Many of the settings
required to set up TCP/IP, which is the standard protocol of the Internet, can be
made automatically.
BOOTP: BOOT strap Protocol. A protocol that enables a client machine to
automatically obtain network setup information from a server over a TCP/IP network.
BOOTP enables a client to automatically locate such information as the host name,
domain name, and IP address, so that it is not necessary to create these items
manually.
RARP: Reserve Address Resolution Protocol. A protocol which associates a
network adapter address (MAC address) with an Internet Protocol (IP) address.
