A designation for the type of wiring used by Ethernet networks with 

a data rate of 10 Mbps. Also known as Category 3 (CAT 3) wiring. 

See also data rate, Ethernet.

 

A designation for the type of wiring used by Ethernet networks with 

a data rate of 100 Mbps. Also known as Category 5 (CAT 5) wiring. 

See also data rate, Ethernet.

 

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. The most commonly deployed 

type of DSL for home users. The term asymmetrical refers to its 

unequal data rates for downloading and uploading (the download 

rate is higher than the upload rate). The asymmetrical rates benefit

home users because they typically download much more data from 

the Internet than they upload.

 

Of data, having a form is analogous to the data’s original

 

The voice component in DSL is an analog signal.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode A standard for high-speed 

transmission of data, text, voice, and video, widely used within the 

Internet. ATM data rates range from 45 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps. See also 

data rate.

 

To verify a user’s identity, such as by prompting for a password.

 

The “base two” system of numbers, that uses only two digits, 0 and 

1, to represent all numbers. In binary, the number 1 is written as 1, 2 

as 10, 3 as 11, 4 as 100, etc. Although expressed as decimal numbers 

for convenience, IP addresses in actual use are binary numbers; e.g., 

the IP address 209.191.4.240 is 11010001.10111111.00000100.1 

1110000 in binary. See also bit, IP address, network mask.

 

Short for “binary digit,” a bit is a number that can have two values, 0 

or 1. See also binary.

Passing data from your network to your ISP and vice versa using 

the hardware addresses of the devices at each location. Bridging 

contrasts with routing, which can add more intelligence to data 

transfers by using network addresses instead. The ADSL modem can 

perform both routing and bridging. Typically, when both functions 

are enabled, the device routes IP data and bridges all other types of 

data. See also routing.

 

A telecommunications technology that can send different types of 

data over the same medium. DSL is a broadband technology. 

 

To send data to all computers on a network.
