Term
OSI
Definition
OPEN SYSTEMS INTERCONENCTION
Term
Network devices classified based on function
–Standards released in 1978, revised in 1983, still used today
–Illustrates:
•How network device prepares data for delivery
•How data is handled once received
Definition
osi
Term
layer3
network layer
Definition
picks the route the network is to take and handles the addressing of the packets for delivery
Term
Function of the network layer
Definition
makes logical addressing, routing , fragmentation, and reassembly available
Term
Hubs
Definition
Connect multiple Ethernet devices together:
•To function as a single network segment
Term
Routers
Definition
Forward packets across computer networks
Term
Load balancers
Definition
Help evenly distribute work across a network
Term
Stateful packet filtering
Definition
Keeps record of state of connection
•Makes decisions based on connection and conditions
Term
Proxy server
Definition
Computer or application that intercepts and processes user requests
Term
Reverse proxy
Definition
Does not serve clients
–Routes incoming requests to correct server
Term
Virtual private network (VPN)
Definition
Uses unsecured network as if it were secure
–All data transmitted between remote device and network is encrypted
Term
Endpoints
Definition
Used in communicating VPN transmissions
–May be software on local computer
–May be VPN concentrator (hardware device)
–May be integrated into another networking device
Term
Anomaly-based monitoring
Definition
Compares current detected behavior with baseline
Term
Host intrusion detection system (HIDS)
Definition
Software-based application that can detect attack as it occurs
Term
Network address translation (NAT)
Definition
Allows private IP addresses to be used on the public Internet
Term
Port address translation (PAT)
Definition
Variation of NAT
•Outgoing packets given same IP address but different TCP port number
Term
Subnetting
Definition
IP address may be split anywhere within its 32 bits
Term
Virtual LANs (VLAN)
Definition
Allow scattered users to be logically grouped together:
–Even if attached to different switches
Term
Remote Access
Definition
