generic TLDs such as .com, .edu, .gov, .org and country code such as .jp, .uk
Term
Second level domain is the sub-domain of TLD
Definition
example texas.edu (specifically the Texas)

Term
VPN
Definition
Virtual Private Network! A tunnel through the internet to protect users...
Term
What are the benefits of a VPN?
Definition
Cost Effectiveness, Accessibility and scalability,
Term
What are the two risks of using a VPN?
Definition
Reliability as well as security
Term
What are the two types of VPN?
Definition
Remote access VPN and Site-to-Site VPN
Term
tunneling
Definition
The process of encapsulating an encrypted and/or authenticated packet within another packet for secure delivery
Term
IP SEC
Definition
IP Security-utilizes security elements such as authentication, integrity and confidentiality
Term
Authentication
Definition
The validation of communicating parties in their true identity
Term
Data Integrity
Definition
assures that packets in transition are not changed accidentally or manipulated by unauthorized parties
Term
What layer does IPSec operate in?
Definition
IP Security operates in the internet layer
Term
IS IPSec mandatory for IPV4 or IPV6?
Definition
IpSec is optional for IPv4 and mandatory for IPv6
Term
What are the different modes that IPSec operates in?
Definition
tunnel mode and Transport mode!
Term
transport mode
Definition
Provides end-to-end (or host-to-host security)
Term
Do you need special software for transport mode?
Definition
YES which makes it much more costly than tunneling mode
Term
SSL
Definition
Secure Socket Layer-is a protocol that provides a relatively secure means to transport data over the internet
Term
TLS-Transport Layer Security
Definition
The official standard from Internet Engineering Task Force (IEFT)
Term
In what layer does IPSec operate?
Definition
In the Internet Layer
Term
What layer does SSL work?
Definition
transport layer
Term
What is one of the biggest drawbacks of IPv4?
Definition
IPv4 has a limited availability in terms of address space due to the 32 bit addressing scheme
Term
hop limit
Definition
represents the maximum number of routers a packet is allowed to pass, and equivalent to time-to-live (TTL) in IPv4
Term
Source address
Definition
identifies the IPv6 address of the source node
Term
payload length
Definition
indicates the length of the IPv6 payload (data field)
Term
How many bits do the addresses in IPv6 use?
Definition
128 bits
Term
Does IPv6 use a hierarchical addressing system?
Definition
YES
Term
Rule 1 for address abbreviation:
Definition
1-all leading zeros can be omitted
Term
What is the second rule for address abbreviations?

A group of zeros can be substituted by a double colon
Term
What does dual IP stacks do?
Definition
embed both IPv4 and IPv6 concurrently in a stack
Term
Packet Tunneling
Definition
If a destination network is running on IPv6 but the local network is still on IPv4, then the local host can produce IPv6 packets and encapsulate them within IPv4 packets for delivery
Term
Direct Address Conversion
Definition
IPv4 packets can be directly converted into those of IPv6 and vice versa
Term
hosted virtualziation
Definition
a technological solution heavily adopted by the industry to address the problems.
Term
Hosted Virtualization
Definition
In this mode the host machine has its own server
Term
Hypervisor-based virtualization
