PPPoE 
Point-to-Point over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the 
Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection.

 

 
Router 
A device that forwards data packets along networks. A router is connected to at 
least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP 
network. Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more 
networks connect.

 

 
Subnet Mask 
A mask used to determine which subnet an IP address belongs to. An IP 
address has two components, the network address and the host address. 
Subnetting enables the network administrator to further divide the host part of 
the address into two or more subnets.

 

 
TCP/IP 
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), the suite of 
communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet.

 

 
VPN 
Virtual private networks are secured private network connections, built on top of 
publicly accessible infrastructure, such as the Internet or the public telephone 
network. VPNs typically employ some combination of encryption, digital 
certificates, strong user authentication and access control to provide security to 
the traffic they carry. They usually provide connectivity to many machines 
behind a gateway or firewall.

 

 
WAN 
Wide Area Network, a communication network that covers a relatively broad 
geographic area, consisting of two or more LANs. Broadband communication 
over the WAN is often through public networks such as the ADSL or Cable 
systems, or through leased lines or satellites. To simplify it, please image 
network as a WAN.

 

 
WEP 
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a data privacy mechanism based on a 
64/128-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
