Static IP 
A static IP address is an IP address that was manually configured for a device, versus 
one that was assigned via a DHCP server. It's called static because it doesn't change. 
Subnet 
A subnetwork or subnet is a logical subdivision of an IP network. The practice of dividing 
a network into two or more networks is called subnetting. 
TCP 
TCP  (Transmission  Control  Protocol)  is a standard that defines  how  to establish  and 
maintain a network conversation via which application programs can exchange data. 
TCP works with the Internet Protocol (IP), which defines how computers send packets 
of data to each other 
UDP 
(User Datagram Protocol) is an alternative communications protocol to Transmission 
Control Protocol (TCP) used primarily for establishing low-latency and loss tolerating 
connections between applications on the Internet.
