- Internet Protocol version 6 [r]: The next-generation Internet Protocol, providing (among other benefits) a vastly increased address space (128bits), which should in turn provide the ability for an end-to-end Internet and allowing new models of communication to be developed. [e]
- Medium access control [r]: The set of protocols and administrative conventions that let multiple computers or communications devices share a common network medium, usually referring to a local area network medium, but also an area of radio communications on a given part of the electromagnetic spectrum [e]
- Network medium [r]: A physical medium, including a designated frequency and physical scope, of the electromagnetic spectrum, over which multiple devices can communicate [e]
- Packet [r]: A unit of information transferred between intermediate switches or routers in a packet-based communication system; the most basic differentiation of packets are whether they contain full source and destination addresses (i.e., are datagrams) or have only the identifier of a connection, which the intermediate device needs to look up to find the destination and take a second step to decide where to forward the packet [e]
- Router [r]: A relay that forwards individual packets based on information in their header; typically an Internet Protocol header [e]
- Routing [r]: The process of receiving a packet on one interface of a router, validating the packet and forwarding it out the appropriate interface. [e]
