GLOSSARY Bandwidth: In computer networking, bandwidth refers to the data rate supported by a network connection or interface. Bandwidth is usually expressed in terms of bits per second (bps). Having high bandwidth is good, because it allows you to download data faster and stream HD video smoothly. Buffer: Refers to downloading a certain amount of data before starting to play the music or movie.The buffer is there to prevent disruption in the video if the video is transmitting slower than it is being watched. Ethernet: The most common type of connection computers use in a local area network (LAN). An Ethernet port looks much like a regular phone jack, but it is slightly wider.This port can be used to connect your computer to another computer, a local network, or a cable modem. Internet Service Provider (ISP): An ISP provides Internet service to individuals and businesses. Typical options for high-speed Internet access include DSL and cable. Router: A hardware device that routes data from a local area network (LAN) to another network connection. A router acts like a coin sorting machine, allowing only authorized machines to connect to other computer systems. Many routers also keep log files about the local network activity. Streaming: Refers to video and/or audio data transmitted over a computer network for immediate playback rather than for file download and later (offline) playback.

GLOSSARY
Bandwidth:
In computer networking, bandwidth refers to the
data rate supported by a network connection or interface.
Bandwidth is usually expressed in terms of bits per second
(bps). Having high bandwidth is good, because it allows you
to download data faster and stream HD video smoothly.
Buffer:
Refers to downloading a certain amount of data before
starting to play the music or movie. The buffer is there to prevent
disruption in the video if the video is transmitting slower than it
is being watched.
Ethernet:
The most common type of connection computers
use in a local area network (LAN). An Ethernet port looks much
like a regular phone jack, but it is slightly wider. This port can be
used to connect your computer to another computer, a local
network, or a cable modem.
Internet Service Provider (ISP):
An ISP provides Internet service
to individuals and businesses. Typical options for high-speed
Internet access include DSL and cable.
Router:
A hardware device that routes data from a local area
network (LAN) to another network connection. A router acts like
a coin sorting machine, allowing only authorized machines to
connect to other computer systems. Many routers also keep
log files about the local network activity.
Streaming
: Refers to video and/or audio data transmitted over
a computer network for immediate playback rather than for file
download and later (offline) playback.
