TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol): An encryption method replacing WEP.TKIP uses random IV and frequent key
exchanges.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) - A communication method (protocol) that offers a limited amount of service when
messages are exchanged between computers in a network. UDP is used as an alternative
to TCP/IP.
Uplink: Link to the next level up in a communication hierarchy.
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable - Two or more unshielded wires twisted together to form a cable.
Virtual Servers - Virtual servers are client servers (such as Web servers) that share resources with other virtual
servers (i.e., it is not a dedicated server).
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - An encryption method based on 64 or 128bit algorithm.
WLAN - WLANs (Wireless LANs) are local area networks that use wireless communications for transmitting data.
Transmissions are usually in the 2.4 GHz band. WLAN devices do not need to be lined up for communications like
infrared devices. WLAN devices use access points, which are connected to the wired LAN and provide connectivity to
the LAN. The radio frequency of WLAN devices is strong enough to be transmitted through non-metal walls and
objects, and can cover an area up to a thousand feet. Laptops and notebooks use wireless LAN PCMCIA cards while
PCs use plug-in cards to access the WLAN.
