assigned to TCP/IP hosts.
MAC Address (Media Access Control Address) — A unique
48-bit address assigned to each network device by the manufac-
turer.
Narrow Band — A channel of about 25 KHz bandwidth in the
RF spectrum. The FCC allocates Narrow Band channels and
issues a license to the user. Each user of a specific narrow band
frequency range must obtain a site license from the FCC.
Spread Spectrum — A radio data transmission modulation
technique by which the transmitted signal is spread over a band-
width wider than the information bandwidth. Spread Spectrum
bands are designated by the FCC and require no user license.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) — A
suite of protocols developed under DARPA sponsorship for
internetworking.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) — A reliable transport
layer that runs over IP on a TCP/IP network.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) — An unreliable transport layer
