35 FTP FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used to transfer f iles over a TCP/IP network, a nd is typically used for transferring large files or upl oading the HTML pages for a Web site to the Web server. Gateway Gateways are computers that convert protocols enabling different networks, applications, and operating systems to exchange information.
MTU MTU (Maximum Transmission/Tran sfer Unit) is the largest packet size that can be sent over a network. Messages larger than the MTU are divided into smaller packets. NAT NAT (Network Address Translation - also known as IP masquerad ing) enab les an organization to present itself to the Intern et with one address.
37 RTS RTS (Request To Send) is a signal sent from the tr ansmitting station to the receiving station requesting permission to transmit d ata.
