100BaseT
100BaseT (defined by the IEEE 802.3) uses a star topology, with
stations directly connected to a multiport hub, and offers up to 100
Mbps data rate. The standard specifies two pairs of unshielded twisted
pair wire for 100BaseTX.

10BaseT
10BaseT implements the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard over
unshielded twisted-pair wiring using a star topology, with stations
directly connected to a multiport hub. It runs at 10Mbits/sec and has a
maximum segment length of 100 meters.

802.11b
An IEEE standard for wireless networking.
Address
An address is a unique code assigned to a network device.
Address Mask
A bit mask used to select bits from an Internet address for subnet
addressing. The mask is 32 bits long and selects the network portion
of the Internet address and one or more bits of the local portion.
Sometimes called subnet mask.
