ADSL requires a special ADSL modem. ADSL is growing in popularity as more areas around the world
gain access.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP. An Ethernet protocol specifying how a centralized DHCP server can assign network configuration
information to multiple DHCP clients. The assigned information includes IP addresses, DNS addresses, and
gateway (router) addresses.
EAP
Extensible Authentication Protocol is a general protocol for authentication that supports multiple
authentication methods. EAP, an extension to PPP, supports such authentication methods as token cards,
Kerberos, one-time passwords, certificates, public key authentication and smart cards. In wireless
communications using EAP, a user requests connection to a WLAN through an AP, which then requests the
identity of the user and transmits that identity to an authentication server such as RADIUS. The server asks
the AP for proof of identity, which the AP gets from the user and then sends back to the server to complete
the authentication. EAP is defined by RFC 2284.
EAP-TLS
EAP-TLS provides strong security through mutual authentication and automatic key exchange
between the two endpoints. Periodic updates are performed using public-key cryptography
through a certificate server and a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server.

ESSID
The Extended Service Set Identification (ESSID) is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key
identifying the wireless local area network.
Gateway
A local device, usually a router, that connects hosts on a local network to other networks.
IETF
Internet Engineering Task Force. Working groups of the IETF propose standard protocols and procedures for
the Internet, which are published as RFCs (Request for Comment) at

community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of the
Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet.
