11I SECURITY STANDARD.WINDOW THE TERM WINDOW REPRESENTS THE NUMBER...

802.11i security standard.

window

The term window represents the number of bytes that can be sent without

receiving an acknowledgment.

wired equivalent privacy (WEP)

An early WLAN security specification that used

relatively weak security mechanisms, using only preshared keys and either no

encryption or weak encryption.

WLAN client

A wireless device that wants to gain access to a wireless access point

for the purpose of communicating with other wireless devices or other devices

connected to the wired internetwork.

WPA2

The Wi-Fi Alliance trademarked name for the same set of security

specifications defined in the IEEE 802.11i security standard.

Z

zero subnet

For every classful IPv4 network that is subnetted, the one subnet whose

subnet number has all binary 0s in the subnet part of the number. In decimal, the zero

subnet can be easily identified because it is the same number as the classful network

number.
