Default Gateway (Router)
Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the
device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device
has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the
destination.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, this protocol automatically gives every computer on
your home network an IP address.
DNS Server IP Address
DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet servers to have a domain
192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet servers and their respective
domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing
"Broadbandrouter.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP
address. The DNS server IP address used by the computers on your home network is the
location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned to you.
DSL
Digital Line Subscriber (DSL) technology provides high-speed access over twisted copper
pair for connection to the Internet, LAN interfaces, and to broadband services such as
video-on-demand, distance learning, and video conferencing.
Ethernet
It is a standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables
and hubs or switches, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per second
(Mbps).

individuals and other businesses or organizations.
ISP Gateway Address
The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's
office.
LAN
Local Area Network is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively
small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN.
MAC Address
MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a
device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique identifier for a device with
an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the
Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are often used as the
product’s serial number.
NAT
Network Address Translator is defined by RFC 1631. Enable a LAN network to use one
set of IP address for internal traffic. A NAT box located where the LAN meets the Internet
provides the necessary IP address translation. This helps provide a sort of firewall and
allow for a wider address range to be used internally without danger of conflict. Using the
router’s NAT capability, you can access the Internet from any computer on your home
network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.

PPP is the Point-to-Point-Protocol. The successor to SLIP, PPP provides router-to-router
and host-to-network connections over both synchronous and asynchronous circuits.
PPPoA (RFC 2364)
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method for transporting multi-
protocol data grams over point-to-point links. This document describes the use of ATM
Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) for framing PPP encapsulated packets.
PPPoE (RFC 2516)
This document describes how to build PPP sessions and encapsulate PPP packets over
Ethernet. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) provides the ability to connect a network of hosts
over a simple bridging access device to a remote Access Concentrator.
Protocol
A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple parties so that
when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the interpretation of their
behavior is well defined and can be made objectively, without confusion or
misunderstanding.

of protocols and related experiments. Not all RFCs describe Internet standards, but all
Internet standards are written up as RFCs.
RFC 1483
Multi-protocol encapsulation over AAL-5. Two encapsulation methods for carrying network
interconnect traffic over ATM AAL-5. The first method allows multiplexing of multiple
protocols over a single ATM virtual circuit. The protocol of a carried PDU is identified by
prefixing the PDU by an IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) header. This method is in
the following called "LLC Encapsulation". The second method does higher-layer protocol
multiplexing implicitly by ATM Virtual Circuits (VCs). It is in the following called "VC Based
Multiplexing".
Router
A system responsible for making decisions about which of several paths network (or
Internet) traffic will follow. To do this, it uses a routing protocol to gain information about
the network and algorithms to choose the best route based on several criteria known as
"routing metrics.
Subnet Mask
A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a
set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used to create
IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address
numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC).
