Rate The number of pulses of a signal that occur in one second Thus baud rate is the speed the digital signal pulses travel Bit Rate The transmission rate of binary symbols 0 and 1 Bit rate is equal to the total number of bits transmitted in one second DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol A protocol that automatically assigns the dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network With dynamic addressing a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network and simplifies network administration because the software keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task When a device newly added into the network a dynamic IP address will be assigned to that device Many ISPs use dynamic IP addressing for dial up users DNS Domain Name Server is a server that translates domain names into IP addresses A domain name is alphabetic and is meaningful for human to remember and use However the Internet routing is based on IP address So when you enter a domain name the DNS server will translate the domain name into the corresponding IP address For example the domain name www example com might be translated to 198 152 212 140 DSSS Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum DSSS is a transmission technology used in WLAN transmissions to increases the signal s resistance to interference At the sending station the data signal is combined with a higher data rate bit sequence to gen
