Appendix C - Glossary NetBIOS - Microsoft Windows protocol for file sharing, printer sharing, messaging, authentication, and name resolution. NTP - Network Time Protocol. Protocol for synchronizing a controller to a single clock on the network, known as the clock master. PAP - Password Authentication Protocol. Protocol for authenticating users to a remote access server or ISP. PPPoE - Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Protocol for connecting a network of hosts to an ISP without the ISP having to manage the allocation of IP addresses. PPTP - Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol. Protocol for creation of VPNs for the secure transfer of data from remote clients to private servers over the Internet. RADIUS - Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. Protocol for remote user authentication and accounting. Provides centralized management of usernames and passwords. RSA - Rivest-Shamir-Adleman. Public key encryption algorithm. SSID - Service Set Identifier. A case-sensitive, 32-alphanumeric character unique identifier used for naming wireless networks. The SSID differentiates one wireless network from another. All access points and devices trying to connect to a specific wireless network must use the same SSID to enable effective roaming. Subnet - A portion of a network that shares a common address component. On TCP/IP networks, subnets are defined as all devices whose IP addresses have the same prefix. For example, all devices with IP addresses that start with 100.100.100 belong to the same subnet. TCP - Transmission Control Protocol. Protocol for transmitting data over the Internet with guaranteed reliability and in-order delivery. UDP - User Data Protocol. Protocol for transmitting data over the Internet quickly but with no guarantee of reliability or in-order delivery. VPN - Virtual private network. Network that enables IP traffic to travel securely over a public TCP/IP network by encrypting all traffic from one network to another. Uses tunneling to encrypt all information at the IP level. WINS - Windows Internet Name Service. Service for name resolution. Allows clients on different IP subnets to dynamically resolve addresses, register themselves, and browse the network without sending broadcasts. Wireless Controller - D-Link device that centralizes and simplifies network management of a wireless LAN by consolidating individually managed access points into a single, unified solution.
