File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

A TCP/IP protocol used for file transfer. 

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

HTTP is a standard used to transmit and receive all data over the World Wide Web.

A wireless standard that supports wireless communications in the 2.4 GHz band 
using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS). The standard provides for data 
rates of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps.

A wireless standard that supports wireless communications in the 2.4 GHz band 
using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The standard provides 
for data rates of 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps. IEEE 802.11g is also 
backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b.

A wireless standard that supports wireless communications in the 2.4 GHz band 
using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The standard provides 
for data rates of 

27, 54, 81, 108, 162, 216, 243, 270, 300

 Mbps. IEEE 802.11n is also 

backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b/g.

An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an infrastructure configuration.

Local Area Network (LAN)

A group of interconnected computer and support devices.

The physical layer address used to uniquely identify network nodes. 

Network Time Protocol (NTP)

NTP provides the mechanisms to synchronize time across the network. The time 
servers operate in a hierarchical-master-slave configuration in order to synchronize 
local clocks within the subnet and to national time standards via wire or radio.
