Ranges of addresses are assigned by Internic, an organization formed for this purpose. Usually written in dotted-decimal notation with periods separating the bytes (for example, 134.177.244.57). Internet Protocol Security. IPSec is a series of guidelines for securing private information transmitted over public networks. IPSec is a VPN method providing a higher level of security than PPTP.

In cable wiring, the concept of transmit and receive are from the perspective of the computer, which is wired as a Media Dependant Interface (MDI). In MDI wiring, a computer transmits on pins 1 and 2. At the hub, switch, router, or access point, the perspective is reversed, and the hub receives on pins 1 and 2. This wiring is referred to as Media Dependant Interface - Crossover (MDI-X). See Most Significant Bit or Most Significant Byte. See Maximum Transmission Unit. The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be sent or received. Unit Most Significant Bit or Most Significant Byte The portion of a number, address, or field that is farthest left when written as a single number in conventional hexadecimal ordinary notation.
