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

Short for asymmetric digital subscriber line, a technology that allows data to be sent over existing copper

telephone lines at data rates of from 1.5 to 9 Mbps when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and

from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending data (known as the upstream rate).

ADSL requires a special ADSL modem. ADSL is growing in popularity as more areas around the world

gain access.

Bandwidth

The information capacity, measured in bits per second, that a channel could transmit. Bandwidth examples

include 10 Mbps for Ethernet, 100 Mbps for Fast Ethernet, and 1000 Mbps (I Gbps) for Gigabit Ethernet.

Baud

The signaling rate of a line, that is, the number of transitions (voltage or frequency changes) made per

second. Also known as line speed.

Broadcast

A packet sent to all devices on a network.
