15.5 Glossary 15
IPv6 The acronym for Internet Protocol version 6.
With the number of devices on the Internet increasing, the IPv6 protocol has been
arranged to replace the current IPv4 protocol.
The length of an IP address has been changed to 128 bits and security functions
and other features have been added.
IPX One of the protocols used for NetWare. IPX runs in the network layer of the OSI
reference model.
IPX/SPX The abbreviation for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Ex-
change, which is a protocol developed by Novell, Inc., typically used in NetWare
environments.
IP Address An address or a code used to identify an individual network device on the Inter-
net. IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4), a protocol widely used today, adopts a 32-
bit number for an IP address separated into four sections. An example of an IPv4
IP address is: 192.168.1.10. On the other hand, IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6),
the next generation protocol, adopts 128-bit IP addresses. The IP address is as-
signed to every computer or other device connected to the Internet.
IP Address Fax The IP is an address or code used to identify individual devices on the Internet.
IP Address Fax uses the addresses to send or receive faxes within the intranet.
JPEG The acronym for Joint Photographic Experts Group. It is a file format used to save
image data. The compression ratio is generally 1/10 to 1/100. JPEG is an effective
method to compress photographs and other natural images.
Kerberos A network authentication system used for Windows 2000 or later, used as the Ac-
tive Directory authentication. Kerberos arranges an authentic site within the net-
work to provide two-phase authentication processes of users login and the use
of network resources, allowing users to be securely and efficiently authenticated.
LAN The acronym for Local Area Network, which is a network constructed by connect-
ing computers on the same floor, in the same building, or in neighboring build-
ings.
LLMNR The acronym for Link-local Multicast Name Resolution, which is a protocol used
for the name resolution of neighboring computers. LLMNR uses simple exchange
of request and response messages to perform name resolution of neighboring
computers without configuring DNS server or clients.
LLTD The acronym for Link Layer Topology Discovery, which is a technology investi-
gating how the devices on the network are connected. Network devices with this
technology are recognized by Windows Vista/Server 2008 on the network, and
displayed as icons configured on the network map of Windows Vista.
LPD The acronym for Line Printer Daemon. This is a platform-independent printer pro-
tocol running on the TCP/IP network. The protocol was originally developed for
BSD UNIX, and has become one of the printing protocols typically used among
general computers.
LPR/LPD The acronym for Line Printer Request/Line Printer Daemon. This is a printing
method implemented via networks, used for Windows NT or UNIX based sys-
tems. It uses TCP/IP to output printing data from Windows or UNIX to a printer
on the network.
LDAP The acronym for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, which is a protocol used
to access a database that can manage E-mail addresses and environmental in-
formation of network users on the Internet, intranet, or other TCP/IP network.
MAC address MAC is the acronym for Media Access Control. A MAC address is an ID number
unique to each Ethernet card, enabling sending or receiving data to or from other
Ethernet cards. A Mac address consists of 48-bit numbers.The first 24 bits are
controlled by IEEE and used to allocate a unique number to each manufacture,
whereas the latter 24 bits are used by each manufacturer to assign a unique
number to each card.
MDN The acronym for Message Disposition Notifications,
which is a message sent to confirm that the mail has been unsealed, a response
to a sender when the sender requests for doing so.
MH The acronym for Modified Huffman, which is a data compression encoding meth-
od used for fax transmissions. Text-based originals are compressed to approxi-
mately 1/10 the original size.
