TermsTermsPacket – Collection of data at the “network” or IP layer.
Router – A device that uses IP address to move data from one computer to another. A router also identifies the optimal path for network traffic and “routes” or directs packets down that path.
TCP/IP – Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol – These are communication standards that enable information to move across a network from one computer to another.
DNS – Domain Name System. A system of software & hardware that translates a domain name (friendscentral.org) to an IP address. See resolver below.

Bandwidth – Number of bits that pass through a given network interface in a given period of time.
baud rate – A measurement in bits/second
KB – Kilobyte – 1000 Bytes

Download – Save data from a remote server to local machine

ping – Software utility that tells you how long it takes packets to reach their destination
WAN – Wide area network (Internet)
LAN – Local area network (FCS Lab)
FTP – File Transfer Protocol
Encapsulation – Process of adding more and more data to a network data transmission. Encapsulated data enables your messages to get to the right machine in the right order.
