Cards

Term
6to4
Definition
An ipv4-to-ipv6 transition protocol that provides automatic tunneling of IPv6 traffic over an IPv4 network.
Term
Address Space
Definition
The number of addresses available in an IP network number that can be
assigned to hosts.
Term
Anycast Addresses
Definition
An address type used in IPv6 to allow a one-to-many relationship between source and destination; the packet is delivered to only one of the possible destination computers.
Term
Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)
Definition
A private range of IP addresses assigned to an
APIPA-enabled computer automatically when an IP address is requested via DHCP but no
DHCP server responds to the request. See also Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP).
Term
Broadcast domain
Definition
The bounds of a network that defines which devices must receive a packet that's broadcast by another device; usually an IP subnet.
Term
CIDR notation
Definition
A method of expressing an IP address in the format A.B.C.D/n; n is the number of 1 bits in the subnet mask or the number of bits in the network ID.
Term
Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR)
Definition
A method of IP addressing in which the network and
host IDs are determined by a prefix number that specifies how many bits of the IP address
are network bits; the remaining bits are host bits.
Term
Classful addressing
Definition
The use of IP addresses with their default subnet masks according to their address class: A, B, or C.
Term
Dotted decimal notation
Definition
The format used to express an IPv4 address; four decimal numbers
separated by periods.
Term
Dual IP layer architecture
Definition
The current architecture of the IPv6 protocol in Windows, in which both IPv4 and IPv6 share the other components of the stack.
Term
Extended Unique Identifier (EUI)-64 interface ID
Definition
An autoconfigured IPv6 host address that uses the MAC address of the host plus an additional 16 bits.
Term
Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP)
Definition
An automatic tunneling protocol used to transmit IPv6 packets between dual IP layer hosts across an IPv4 network.
Term
IP prefix
Definition
A value used to express how many bits of an IP address are network ID bits.
Usually expressed as /PrefixNumber—for example, 192.168.1.24/27, with 27 as the IP prefix.
Term
Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4)
Definition
A connectionless Internetwork-layer protocol that
provides source and destination addressing and routing for the TCP/IP protocol suite. Uses
32-bit dotted decimal addresses.
Term
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)
Definition
A connectionless Internetwork-layer protocol that provides
source and destination addressing and routing for the TCP/IP protocol suite. Uses 128-bit
hexadecimal addresses and has built-in security and QoS features.
Term
Link local address
Definition
An IP address that can be used to communicate only on the local subnet. It can't be routed to other networks.
Term
Localhost
Definition
The name used to refer to the loopback address in an IP network. See also
loopback address.
Term
Loopback Address
Definition
An address that always refers to the local computer; in IPv4, 127.0.0.1 is
the loopback address.
Term
Metric
Definition
A value assigned to the gateway based on the speed of the interface used to access the gateway.
Term
Multicast Address
Definition
An address that identifies a group of computers running a multicast application.
Term
Multicasting
Definition
A network communication in which a packet is addressed so that more than one destination can receive it.
Term
Multihomed Server
Definition
A server with two or more NIC's each attached to a different IP network. Each NIC is assigned a network connection and requires it's own IP address.
Term
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Definition
A service that translates a private IP address to a public
IP address in packets destined for the Internet, and then translates the public IP address in
the reply to the private address.
Term
Octet
Definition
A grouping of 8 bits, often used to identify the four 8-bit decimal numbers that
compose an IP address (as in “first octet,” “second octet,” and so forth).
Term
Port Address Translation (PAT)
Definition
An extension of NAT, a service that allows several hundred
workstations to access the Internet with a single public Internet address by using Transportlayer
port numbers to differentiate each host conversation. See also Network Address
Translation (NAT).
Term
Subnet Mask
Definition
A 32-bit number in dotted decimal format, consisting of a string of eight or
more binary 1s followed by a string of 0s, that determines which part of an IP address is the
network ID and which part is the host ID. A binary 1 in the subnet mask signifies that the
corresponding bit in the IP address belongs to the network ID, and a binary 0 signifies that
the corresponding bit in the IP address belongs to the host ID.
Term
Subnets
Definition
Subdivisions of an IP address space.
Term
Subnetting
Definition
The process of dividing an IP network address into two or more subnetwork
addresses. See also subnet.
Term
Supernetting
Definition
Reallocating bits from the network portion of an IP address to the host
portion, effectively combining two or more smaller subnets into a larger supernet.
Term
Teredo
Definition
An automatic IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling protocol that solves the problem of 6to4's requirement of a public IPv4 address and the inability to transverse NAT routers.
Term
Tunneling
Definition
A common network protocol technique that allows transmitting a packet in a format that would otherwise be incompatible for the network architecture by encapsulating the packet in a compatible header format.
Term
Unicast Address
Definition
An address in a unit of network data intended for a single destination device.
