DHCP is a protocol used to dynamically assign IP addresses to devices on a
network as requested. With dynamic addressing, a device is assigned the
next available IP address from the address pool every time it connects to
the network. DHCP client support is built into all Windows operating
systems, from Windows 95 on.
Dynamic IP
The term used to describe how IP address is dynamically assigned to
computers as and when needed. Unlike Static IP addresses, the IP address is
temporary, and it changes every time you connect to your ISP.
Dynamic Routing
Dynamic routing uses a routing protocol to exchange routing information
with neighbouring routers on the network. It calculates routing tables based
on a given metric, such as least number of hops or shortest path. It can
respond to changes in the status or traffic on the network, re-routing traffic
as required.
Ethernet
A network communication system developed and standardized by DEC,
Intel, and Xerox, using baseband transmission, CSMA/CD access, logical
bus topology, and coaxial cable. The successor IEEE 802.3 standard
provides for integration into the OSI model and extends the physical layer
and media with repeaters and implementations that operate on fiber, thin
coax, and twisted-pair cable.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
A protocol commonly used to transfer files across the Internet.
Filter
When using G.lite ADSL, a low-pass filter is required to remove data signals
from any line connected directly to a telephone.
Firewall
A firewall is designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private
network.
