Infrastructure Task Force
ASCII
 American Standard Code for Information
Exchange, code that represents English characters
as numbers, used to represent text and transfer
information between computers.
bandwidth
 the amount of data that can be transmitted
in a given amount of time, typically
expressed as bits per second (bps).
BCC
 blind carbon copy, a copy of an e-mail
message sent to a second recipient without
the address appearing in the original
mailing.
browser
 a software application used to access the
World Wide Web and view web pages
cable modem
 a modem designed to utilize cable television lines
and therefore capable of transmitting more
information with more bandwidth and faster
connection speeds.
dial-up account
 internet access account that enables a
computer to connect to the Internet via an
ISP computer using a modem.
domain name
 names used in URL's and corresponding to one or
more IP addresses. Domain names always carry a
suffix, the top-level domain name such as com or
edu. Domain names in a URL are case sensitive.
local area network
 computer network that covers a relatively small
area, such as a single building or company, and
allows for sharing devices such as printers or
services such as Internet connection.
Dial-up IP overview
 LAN connected via dial-up line
• LAN has assigned permanent IP address prefix
• border machine acts as a router between Internet and LAN
• border machine has 2 IP interfaces
 to the LAN
 to the dial-up line (and Internet)
• routing information (i.e. IP prefix of the LAN) must be

propagated to the Internet using routing protocol
• e-mail may be delivered to any machine in the LAN

DSL Lines
 DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a technology for
bringing high-bandwidth information to homes
and small businesses over ordinary copper
telephone lines.
 A DSL line can carry both data and voice signals

and the data part of the line is continuously
connected.
 Digital Subscriber Line is a technology that assumes

digital data does not require change into analog form and
back.
Four Necessary Components of a DSL Connection
DSL splitter
DSL modem
DSLAM (multiplexer)
High Speed connection
DSL Lines
 Digital data is transmitted to your computer directly as
digital data and this allows the phone company to use a
much wider bandwidth for transmitting it to you.
 Most DSL technologies require that a signal splitter be

installed at a home or business, requiring the expense of a
phone company visit and installation. However, it is
possible to manage the splitting remotely from the central
office.
This is known as splitterless DSL.
Leased Lines
 A leased line is a contract between a service provider and

a customer, whereby the provider agrees to deliver a
dedicated telecommunication line connecting two
locations in exchange for a monthly rent (hence the term
lease). It is sometimes known as a 'Private Circuit' or 'Data
Line'
 An internet leased line is a premium internet connectivity

product, delivered over fibre normally, which is dedicated
and provides uncontended, symmetrical speeds.

interconnect a company’s four locations.
Leased Lines
 Typically, leased lines are used by businesses to connect
geographically distant offices. Unlike dial-up connections,
a leased line is always active.
 Because the connection doesn't carry anybody else's

communications, the carrier can assure a given level of
quality.
 Increasingly, leased lines are being used by companies,

and even individuals, for Internet access because they
afford faster data transfer rates and are cost-effective for
heavy users of the Internet.
