🗑
netbios   a protocol that runs in the session and transport layers of the osi model and associates netbios names with workstations  
🗑
netbios   is not routable because it does not contain network layer information  
🗑
nbstat   a tcp/ip troubleshooting utility that provides information about netbios names and their addresses.  
🗑
network address translation   a technique in which ip addresses used on a private network are assigned a public address by a gateway when accessing a public network  
🗑
my trace route mtr   a route discovery and analysis utility that comes with unix and linux operating systems  
🗑
mtr   combines the functions of the ping and traceroute commands and delivers an easily readable chart as its output  
🗑
multipurpose internet mail extension   a standard for encoding and interpreting binary files,images,video, and non ascii character sets with an email message  
🗑
internet message access protocol   a mail retreival protocol that improves on the shortcomings of pop.  
🗑
imap   it allows users to store messages on the server rather then having to download them to their local machine  
🗑
internet connection sharing host   on a network using microsoft ,the computer whose internet connection other computers share  
🗑
internet connection sharing   a service that allows one computer,the ics host,to share its internet connection with other computers on the same network  
🗑
hostname   a tcp/ip utility used to show or modify a clients host name  
🗑
host   a tcp/ip utility that at its simplest returns either the ip address of a host if its host name is specified or its host name if its ip address is specified  
🗑
extended network prefix   the combination of an ip's address's network id and subnet information  
🗑
extended network prefix   a device can determine the subnet to which an address belongs  
🗑
dynamic network address translation   a type of address translation in which a limited pool of internet valid ip addresses is shared by multiple private network hhosts  
🗑
domain information groper   a tcp/ip utillty that queries the dns database and provides information about a host given its ip address or vice versa.  
🗑
dig   similiar to the nslookup utility,but provides more information,even in its simplest form,than nslookup can  
🗑
default gateway   first interprets a devices outbound request and then interprets its inbound requests to and from other subnets  
🗑
core gateway   operates on the internets backbone  
🗑

🗑
cidr notation   slash  
🗑

🗑
cidr   network and host information is manipulated without adhering to the limitations imposed by traditional network class distinctions  
🗑
cidr   supernetting  
🗑
route command   allows you to view a hosts routing table and add,delete or modify preferred routes  
🗑
nslookup utility   more flexible version of the host command  
🗑
ifconfig   utility that establishes and allows management of the tcp/ip settings on a unix or linux system  
🗑
nat   gateways assign transmissions valid internet ip addresses to be shared by multiple clients  
🗑
dnat   allows one or more internet recognized ip addresses to be shared by multiple clients  
🗑
snat   establishes a one to one correlation between each private ip address and internet recognized ip addresses  
🗑
subnet mask   provides clues about the location of network information in an ip address.
