Subnet - A portion of a network. Each subnet within a network shares a common 

network address and is uniquely identified by a subnetwork number.

Subnet Mask - A 32-bit number used to separate the network and host sections of an IP 

address. A subnet mask subdivides an IP network into smaller pieces. An example of 
a subnet mask might be 255.255.255.248 for subnet with only eight IP addresses. 

TCP/IP - Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is the basic communication 

protocol of the Internet. It supports sending information in packets, and identifies 
each device with a unique numeric IP address. 

VPN - A Virtual Private Network is a virtual network that encrypts data and sends it 

privately over the Internet to protect sensitive information.

WAN - A Wide Area Network is a geographically distributed network composed of 

multiple networks joined into a single large network. The Internet is a global WAN.

WLAN - A Wireless Local Area Network is a LAN with wireless connections instead of 

physical connections.
