Public Switched Telephone Network.

QoS is a networking term that specifies a guaranteed level of throughput. Throughput is the amount of data 
transferred from one device to another or processed in a specified amount of time - typically, throughputs are 
measured in bytes per second (Bps). 

Short for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, RADIUS is an authentication system. Using 
RADIUS, you must enter your user name and password before gaining access to a network. This 
information is passed to a RADIUS server, which checks that the information is correct, and then authorizes 
access. Though not an official standard, the RADIUS specification is maintained by a working group of the 
IETF. 

Request For Comment. Refers to documents published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) 
proposing standard protocols and procedures for the Internet. RFCs can be found at www.ietf.org.

A device that forwards data between networks. An IP router forwards data based on IP source and 
destination addresses.

A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key identifying a wireless 
local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to communicate with each other, all devices must 
be configured with the same SSID. This is typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It 
corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name. See also Wireless 
Network Name and ESSID.
