TEST IV- ACRONYMS:

1. UTP- Unshielded Twisted Pair

- used

2. STP- Shielded Twisted Pair

- 1st developed by IBM
-it consist of two individual wires wrapped in a foil shielding that helps
provide more reliable data transmission.

3. IP- Internet Protocol

- is the fundamental protocol for communication in internet. It specifies the
way information is packetized, addressed, transferred, routed, and received by
networked devices.

4. TCP/IP- Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol

- is a set of rules (protocols) governing communications among all
computers on the internet. More specifically, TCP/IP dictates how information
should be packaged (turned into bundles of information called packets, sent,
and received, as well as how to get to its destination.

5. HTTP- Hypertext Transfer Protocol

- is a set of standard s that allow users of the World Wide Web to exchange
information found on web pages. When Accessing any web page entering
http:// in front of the address tells the browser to communicate over HTTP. For
example, the URL for computer hope is https://www.computerhope.com
URL- uniform resource locator

6. FTP- File Transfer Protocol

- is the most common way of sending and receiving files between two
computers.
7. SSH- Secure Shell
- is a secure protocol for remote log-ins. Using an SSH client, a user can
connect to a server to transfer information in a more secure manner than other
method.

8. IMAP- Internet Message Access Protocol

- it is a protocol for retrieving e-mail from a server, similar to POP. The secure
version of IMAP is called IMAPS, which stands for for IMAP over SSL.

9. SMTP- Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

-is an Internet standard for the sending of e-mail messages over port 25.
While it is mostly used for transfer from one mail server to another, some client
mail applications use SMTP for relaying messgaes, whereas receiving happens
viA POP or IMAP.
POP- means Post Offfice Protocol- one of the most commonly used
protocols used to receive e-mail on many e-mail clients.

10. DHCP- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocols

- is a protocol used to assign an IP address to a computer or device
connected to a network automatically. Routers, switches, or servers that use
DHCP to assign addresses to other computers can make setup and management
easier for the network administrator.

11. DNS- Domain Name System

- is a service that receives a request containing a domain name host name
and responds with the corresponding IP address.

12. TTL- Time-to-Live

- is a field in the internet Protocol that specifies how many more hops a
packet can travel before that packet is disregarded or returned.
13. LAN- Local Area Network
- has a networking equipment or computers in close proximity to each other,
capable of communicating, sharing resources and information. For example,
most home and business networks are on a LAN.

14. VPN- Virtual Private Network

- is a network that allows a user to connect to a network through a
tunneling protocol and access internal internet and intranet websites and e-mail.
Virtual private networks are used to allow an employee with a large company to
