ISP  – 

An  ISP  (Internet  Service  Provider) is a company that provides 

individuals and companies access to the Internet and other related

 

services

 

such as website building and virtual hosting.

 

 

LAN – 

A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated 

devices that share a common communications line and typically share the 

resources of a single processor or server within a small geographic area   

(for example, within an office building). 

 

Latency – 

The time delay between when the first bit of a packet is received 

and the last bit is forwarded.

 

 

Link Quality – 

Indicates the Quality of data being received.

 

 

MAC Address  – 

The MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique 

number assigned by the manufacturer to any  Ethernet networking device, 

such as a network adapter, that allows the network to identify it at the 

hardware level.

 

 

Mbps 

(Megabits per Second)  – One million bits per second; a unit of 

measurement of the speed of data transmission.

 

 

NAT  – 

NAT (Network Address Translation) is the translation of an Internet 

Protocol address (IP address) used within one network to a different IP 

address known within another network.  One network is designated the inside 

network and the other is the outside.

Network – 

A system that transmits any combination of voice, video, and/or 

data between users. 

 

NIC  (

Network  Interface  Card)  – A board installed in a computer system, 

usually a PC, to provide network communication capabilities to and from that 

computer system.  Also called an adapter. 

 

Packet Filtering  – 

Discarding unwanted network traffic based on its 

originating address or range of addresses or its type (e-mail, file transfer, etc.).

 

 

PCI (

Peripheral Component Interconnect

) 

– A peripheral bus commonly used 

in PCs, Macintoshes and workstations.  It was designed primarily by Intel and 

first appeared on PCs in late 1993.  PCI provides a high-speed data path 

between the CPU and peripheral devices (video, disk, network, etc.).   

There are typically three of four PCI slots on the motherboard.  In a Pentium 

PC, there is generally a mix of PCI and ISA slots or PCI and EISA slots.  

Early on, the PCI bus was known as a “local bus.”   

PCI allows IRQs to be shared, which helps to solve the problem of limited 

IRQs available on a PC.  For example, if there were only one IRQ left over 

after ISA devices were given their required IRQs, all PCI devices could share 

it.  In a PCI-only machine, there cannot be insufficient IRQs, as all can be 

shared.

 

 

PCMCIA  – 

The PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International 

Association) is an industry group organized in 1989 to promote standards for a 

credit card-size memory or I/O device that would fit into a personal computer, 

usually a notebook or laptop computer.
