PPP Point-to-Point Protocol
A protocol for serial data transmission that is used to carry IP (and
other protocol) data between your ISP and your computer. The WAN
interface on the Wireless Gateway uses two forms of PPP called
PPPoA and PPPoE. See PPPoA, PPPoE.
PPPoA Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM
One of the two types of PPP interfaces you can define for a Virtual
Circuit (VC), the other type being PPPoE. You can define only one
PPPoA interface per VC.
PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
One of the two types of PPP interfaces you can define for a Virtual
Circuit (VC), the other type being PPPoA. You can define one or more
PPPoE interfaces per VC.
protocol A set of rules governing the transmission of data. In order for a data
transmission to work, both ends of the connection have to follow the
rules of the protocol.

subnet A subnet is a portion of a network. The subnet is distinguished from the
larger network by a subnet mask that selects some of the computers of
the network and excludes all others. The subnet's computers remain
physically connected to the rest of the parent network, but they are
treated as though they were on a separate network. See network
mask.
subnet mask A mask that defines a subnet. See network mask.
TCP See TCP/IP.
