UDP: User Datagram Protocol. UDP is a communication protocol used by the Internet. UDP
is more efficient than TCP but it is less reliable. Unlike TCP, UDP does not break up and
reassemble packets, nor does it check or acknowledge received packets.
VPN: Virtual Private Network. VPN is a technology that enables a private or secure network
connection to be established within an open public network, such as the Internet.
VPN Pass-through: A VPN pass-through device allows data traffic from the two VPN end
points to pass through, but itself is not a VPN end point.
WAN: Wide Area Network. A WAN spans a large geographical area, connecting two or more
local area networks (LANs). The Internet is an example of a public WAN.
WAN Ping: WAN ping is the action of pinging a WAN IP address to verify the IP address’s
validity. The “ping” command sends packets to the target host and waits for its replies to
verify the existence of the target host.
WCDMA: Wideband Code Division Multiple Access. WCDMA is a 3G wireless technology
with higher wireless data speed. WCDMA transmits over a pair of 5 MHz wide radio
channels.
WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy. WEP was designed to give wireless networks the
equivalent data protection as wired networks. There are two levels of WEP encryption
available: 64-bit and 128-bit.
WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network. WLAN (or more commonly known as WiFi) enables
local area network (LAN) to be deployed without cabling. WLAN transmits and receives data
via radio signals.
