Glossary
Description
MAC address
Media
Access Control address
Standardized data link layer address that is required for every
port or device that connects to a LAN. Other devices in the
network use these addresses to locate specific ports in the
network and to create and update routing tables and data
structures. MAC addresses are 6 bytes long and are controlled
by the IEEE.
M
MTU
Maximum
Transmission Unit
The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be transmitted.
NAT
Network Address
Translator
Mechanism for reducing the need for globally unique IP
addresses. NAT allows an organization with addresses that are
not globally unique to connect to the Internet by translating
those addresses into globally routable address space.
N
NTP Server
NTP Server is used for synchronising the time across computer
networks.
POP3
Post Office Protocol
3
POP3 is intended to permit a workstation to dynamically access
a maildrop on a server host in a useful fashion.
P
PPPoE
Point-to-Point
Protocol over Ethernet
PPPoE
is a network protocol for encapsulating Point-to-Point
Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames.
SMTP
Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol
SMTP is an Internet standard for electronic mail (e-mail)
transmission
SSH
Secure Shell
Protocol
SSH
is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged
using a secure channel between two networked devices.
SA
Security Association
SA is the establishment of shared security attributes between
two network entities to support secure communication.
S
TCP
Transfer Control
Protocol
Connection-oriented transport layer protocol that provides
reliable full-duplex data transmission.
T
TCP/IP
Transmission
Control Protocol/ Internet
Protocol
Common name for the suite of protocols to support the
construction of worldwide Internet works. TCP and IP are the
two best-known protocols in the suite.
