PPPoE:  Point-to-Point  Protocol  over  Ethernet.  Point-to-Point  Protocol  is  a  secure  data  transmission  method  originally
created  for  dial-up  connections;  PPPoE  is  for  Ethernet  connections.  PPPoE  relies  on  two  widely  accepted  standards,
Ethernet  and  the  Point-to-Point  Protocol.  It  is  a  communications  protocol  for  transmitting  information  over  Ethernet
between different manufacturers

Protocol:  A  protocol  is  a  set  of rules for interaction agreed upon  between multiple  parties  so that  when they interface
with each other based on such a protocol, the interpretation of their behavior is well defined and can be made objectively,
without confusion or misunderstanding.

Router:  A  router  is  an  intelligent  network  device  that  forwards  packets  between  different  networks  based  on  network
layer address information such as IP addresses.

Subnet  Mask:  A  subnet  mask,  which  may  be  a  part  of  the  TCP/IP  information  provided  by  your  ISP,  is  a  set  of  four
numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a
particular  network  (as  opposed  to  valid  IP  address  numbers  recognized  by  the  Internet,  which  must  be  assigned  by
InterNIC).

TCP/IP,  UDP:  Transmission  Control  Protocol/Internet  Protocol  (TCP/IP)  and  Unreliable  Datagram  Protocol  (UDP).
TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol.
TCP performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the other hand is not reliable. They
both run on top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a network layer protocol.

WAN:  Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in geographically separate areas (e.g. different
buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network.

Web-based  management  Graphical  User  Interface  (GUI):  Many  devices  support  a  graphical  user  interface  that  is
based  on  the  web  browser.  This  means  the  user  can  use  the  familiar  Netscape  or  Microsoft  Internet  Explorer  to
Control/configure or monitor the device being managed.
