Networking Layer. The most widely used version of IP today is IP version 4 (IPv4). However, IP version 6 
(IPv6) is also beginning to be supported. IPv6 provides for much longer addresses and therefore for the 
possibility of many more Internet users. IPv6 includes the capabilities of IPv4 and any server that can 
support IPv6 packets can also support IPv4 packets.
IP
IP Address
A four-byte number uniquely defining each host on the Internet, usually written in dotted-decimal notation 
with periods separating the bytes (for example, 134.177.244.57). Ranges of addresses are assigned by 
Internic, an organization formed for this purpose. 
ISP
Internet service provider.
L
LAN
Local Area Network
A communications network serving users within a limited area, such as one floor of a building. A LAN 
typically connects multiple personal computers and shared network devices such as storage and printers. 
Although many technologies exist to implement a LAN, Ethernet is the most common for connecting 
personal computers and is limited to a distance of 1,500 feet. LANs can be connected together, but if 
modems and telephones connect two or more LANs, the larger network constitutes what is called a WAN or 
Wide Area Network. 
M
MAC
(1) Medium Access Control. In LANs, the sublayer of the data link control layer that supports 
medium-dependent functions and uses the services of the physical layer to provide services to the logical 
link control (LLC) sublayer. The MAC sublayer includes the method of determining when a device has 
access to the transmission medium. (2) Message Authentication Code. In computer security, a value that is a 
part of a message or accompanies a message and is used to determine that the contents, origin, author, or 
other attributes of all or part of the message are as they appear to be. (IBM Glossary of Computing Terms)
