1 0BASE-T A designation for the type of wiring used by Ethernet networks
with a data rate of 10 Mbps. Also known as Category 3 (CAT 3) wiring. See also data rate,
Ethernet.
1 00BASE-T A designation for the type of wiring used by Ethernet networks
with a data rate of 100 Mbps. Also known as Category 5 (CAT 5) wiring. See also data rate,
Ethernet.
1 000BASE-T A designation for the type of wiring used by Ethernet networks
with a data rate of 1000 Mbps.
binary The "base two" system of numbers, that uses only two digits, 0
and 1, to represent all numbers. In binary, the number 1 is written as 1, 2 as 10, 3 as 11, 4 as
100, etc. Although expressed as decimal numbers for convenience, IP addresses in actual
use are binary numbers; e.g., the IP address 209.191.4.240 is
11010001.10111111.00000100.11110000 in binary. See also bit, IP address, network mask.
bit Short for "binary digit," a bit is a number that can have two values,
0 or 1. See also binary.
bps bits per second
CoS Class of Service. Defined in 802.1Q, the value range is from 0 to 7. Due to 4 internal
traffic class mapping to 8 priority, Only Cos value 0,2,5,7 are valid according to Cos
Queue Mapping.
broadcast To send data to all computers on a network.
download To transfer data in the downstream direction, i.e., from the
Internet to the user.
Ethernet The most commonly installed computer network technology,
usually using twisted pair wiring. Ethernet data rates are 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. See also
10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, twisted pair.
filtering To screen out selected types of data, based on filtering rules.
Filtering can be applied in one direction (ingress or egress), or in both directions.
