Ethernet – It is mostly called as LAN and it was established almost during 70’s through partnership of DEC, Intel and Xerox.

Fiber Optic – It is most expensive cable technology to transfer the data at an unbelievable speed.

Gateway – The gateway IP address which act as the main access point to other network and routes traffic.

Hardware (MAC) address – It’s a matchless IP address which get linked only with a exacting system networking device

Hub – It’s a device where all the computers and other devices get connected to a network which intake received signal and transfer it to all the other ports.

Internet – The Term Internet refers to which connect the whole world network or known as www.
IP address – An address which helps in locating the host network and every networking computer has a matchless IP address.

LAN – The LAN which is termed as local area network and is restricted to certain ecological areas.

MAC Address– The MAC address which is also termed as Media Access Control and it act as single identifier which is being attached to most forms of networking equipment and it cannot be modified.

Megabit – The megabit which calculates typeset transfer rate of the computer and one Megabit which should transfer at least 125,000mB/sec.

Megabyte – The megabyte which calculates the hard drive storage capacity especially for the memory and one megabyte means 1024 KB and 1024 megabyte means 1GB.

Network – Many computer or devices which converse to each other is called as Network.

Network Interface Card (NIC) – The Network is being connected with the help of the network card inside the computer.

Packet – The Data being transferred through the network and its being divided into packet to sent it to different packet switching network.

PING (Packet Internet Groper) –The PING is termed as Packet Internet Groper which is used as command to test the Internet connectivity to device over an Internet protocol (TCP/IP) network.

Protocol – The protocol are determined as law to the format and distribution of data over a network.

RJ-45 – The RJ-45 are connectors which are commonly used with the Cat5 network cabling.

Route – A course through an internetwork.

Router – The Router is specially used to show the directions and sent them across to other network.

Server - The server which is also like main computer and control all the data and even the other service providers with the help of the other computers.

TI Line – The TI line which is compatible with the high speed data line which broadcast almost 1.544 Mbps.

TCP/IP – TCP/IP which is termed as Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol which can also be used for home network. And used as the basic for internetwork.

UNC Path - UNC path which is termed as Universal Naming Convention which helps in providing a naming convention for recognizing different network and includes 3 parts which are as follow the server name, a share name, an even the optional file path.

WAN (wide area network) – The WAN is termed as Wide Area Network linking the entire network mostly located in the geographic areas.
