12 Compaq TaskSmart W2200 Appliance Server Administration Guide Router A machine in a large network that reads the destination of a message and selects the best route for transporting the packet. Operates in the network layer of the OSI Model. Routing The means whereby a router knows where to forward a packet. There are two ways to do this. Static routing requires a predefined routing table be entered. Dynamic routing builds the routing table dynamically, without end user intervention. Dynamic routing is preferable, but requires more intelligence in the router. Routing Protocol Any set of algorithms designed to route data. There are several architecture structures of how routers are set up to support networks, however they must all know where to route data that is bound for a destination. Protocols can be based on dynamic and static inputs. Dynamic routing configurations allow routers to communicate and learn destinations from each other and thus enable the best path for data transfer and load balancing. Static routing configurations are routes that are input by an administrator. The routes are set in a "fixed" way that data will always be handled the same way. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) The leading security protocol on the Internet. When an SSL session is started, the browser sends its public key to the server so that the server can securely send a secret key to the browser. The browser and server exchange data via secret key encryption during that session. Developed by Netscape, SSL has been merged with other protocols and authentication methods into a new protocol known as Transport Layer Security (TLS). Server Computer on a LAN where the network software runs. Servers provide file, print and/or communication, and application (email) services for the network. A webserver is the computer program within the computer that serves requested HTML pages or files.
