A
Access Control List
An ACL is a database that an Operating System uses to track each user’s access rights to system objects
(such as file directories and/or files).
ACL
See “Access Control List”
Ad-hoc Mode
An 802.11 networking framework in which devices or stations communicate directly with each other,
without the use of an access point (AP). Ad-hoc mode is also referred to as peer-to-peer mode or an
Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS). Ad-hoc mode is useful for establishing a network where wireless
infrastructure does not exist or where services are not required.
ADSL
Short for asymmetric digital subscriber line, a technology that allows data to be sent over existing copper
telephone lines at data rates of from 1.5 to 9 Mbps when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and
from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending data (known as the upstream rate).
ADSL requires a special ADSL modem. ADSL is growing in popularity as more areas around the world
gain access.
B
Bandwidth
The information capacity, measured in bits per second, that a channel could transmit. Bandwidth examples
include 10 Mbps for Ethernet, 100 Mbps for Fast Ethernet, and 1000 Mbps (I Gbps) for Gigabit Ethernet.
Baud
The signaling rate of a line, that is, the number of transitions (voltage or frequency changes) made per
second.
Also known as line speed.
Broadcast
A packet sent to all devices on a network.
