10BASE-T

IEEE 802.3 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over twisted pair wiring.

100BASE-Tx

IEEE 802.3 specification for 100 Mbps Ethernet over twisted pair wiring.

802.11b

IEEE specification for wireless networking at 11 Mbps using direct-sequence

spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio

spectrum at 2.5GHz.

802.11g

IEEE specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence

spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio

spectrum at 2.5GHz.

802.11x

802.1x defines port-based, network access control used to provide

authenticated network access and automated data encryption key

management.

The IEEE 802.1x draft standard offers an effective framework for

authenticating and controlling user traffic to a protected network, as well as

dynamically varying encryption keys. 802.1x uses a protocol called EAP

(Extensible Authentication Protocol) and supports multiple authentication

methods, such as token cards, Kerberos, one-time passwords, certificates, and

public key authentication. For details on EAP specifically, refer to IETF's

RFC 2284.

Access Control List

(ACL)

An ACL is a database that an Operating System uses to track each user’s

access rights to system objects (such as file directories and/or files).

Ad-hoc Mode

An 802.11 networking framework in which devices or stations communicate

directly with each other, without the use of an access point (AP). Ad-hoc

mode is also referred to as peer-to-peer mode or an Independent Basic Service

Set (IBSS). Ad-hoc mode is useful for establishing a network where wireless

infrastructure does not exist or where services are not required.

ADSL

See Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line

Asymmetric Digital

Subscriber Line

A technology for sending data over regular telephone lines. ADSL allows data

rates up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640 Kbps upstream.
