28.8 Modem - A modem that connects at a maximum throughput of
28.8Kbps. 28.8 modem speeds are considered barely adequate in
the increasingly graphics-laden Internet.
33.6 Modem - A modem that connects at a maximum throughput of of
33.6Kbps. 33.6 modem speeds are considered barely adequate in
the increasingly graphics-laden internet.
56.6 V.90 Modem - A modem that, despite its name, connects at a
maximum of 53Kbps. V.90 refers to the standard used to
communicate over voice phone lines. Two modems that use the same
standard should, theoretically, be able to communicate without
problems. The 53Kbps transfer rate is for downloads only; upload
data travels at 33.6Kbps.
56K KFlex Modem - A modem that, despite its name, connects at a
maximum of 53Kbps. KFlex refers to one of two competing
standards (the other being X2) for 56K modems that has been made
obsolete by the V.90 standard. The 53Kbps transfer rate is for
downloads only; upload data travels at 33.6Kbps.
56K Leased Line - A telephone line that provides a dedicated
data connection at 56Kbps.
56K X2 Modem - A modem that, despite its name, connects at a
maximum of 53Kbps. X2 refers to one of two competing standards
(the other being KFlex) for 56K modems that has been made
obsolete by the V.90 standard. The 53Kbps transfer rate is for
downloads only; upload data travels at 33.6Kbps.
64K Leased Line - A telephone line that provides a dedicated
data connection at 56Kbps.
ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. ADSL transmits an
asymmetric data stream with more speed for downloading data and
less speed for uploading data. Oriented towards residential and
home office users who generally download bigger files than they
send. Commonly used for email, file transmission, browsing, and
online purchasing.
Cable Modem - A device that converts the data on cable wiring
into networking data that a computer can understand. A cable
modem typically uses the bandwidth provided by an unused
television channel. Speed varies depending on how many
subscribers are signed up in a particular area. The maximum is
about 30Mbps, but more typical speeds are less than those of a
10Mbps Ethernet LAN.
Download Speed - This is the maximum possible data transfer rate
from the ISP down to your computer. On many xDSL services this
will be faster than the upload speed. For the home/casual user
this works well since they typically download more data than
they upload.
DS-3 - Digital Service, level 3. DS-3 is the more common name
internationally for what is known as a T3 in the United States.
DSL - Digital Subscriber Line. A network access technology that
delivers always on, high-speed Internet access. DSL is designed
to take advantage of that portion of the bandwidth which is not
used by voice. There are many different types of DSL. The most
common are ADSL, SDSL and IDSL.
Fractional T1 - A T1 line (1.544Mbps) divided in increments of
64Kbps.
Fractional T3 - A T3 line (44.736Mbps) divided in increments of
typically 3Mbps.
Frame Relay - A dedicated line for packet-switched data (i.e.,
network traffic). The name refers to a standard by which packet
data is sent as frames that are relayed to their destination
without any kind of conversion.
High-Speed - Connection speeds greater than dial-up services.
High-Speed connections range from 64Kbps single channel ISDN to
44MB-plus T3 connections. The most common High-Speed services
are ISDN, xDSL, Cable, Frame Relay, T1 and T3.
IDSL - IDSL is for locations that exceed the length requirements
for ADSL or SDSL (more than about 3 miles from your phone
company's central office). IDSL uses ISDN transmission coding,
bundling together both ISDN channels and voice all on one
circuit. IDSL is more expensive than DSL because you don't pay
for bandwidth but for the equipment and installation which is
not as widely used.
ISDN (single/dual) - Integrated Service Digital Network. ISDN
was designed for digital data and voice transmission. ISDN can
have two 64Kbps channels--one for voice and one for data. The
two channels can be combined to provide up to 128Mbps.
OC-12 - Optical Carrier, level 12. OC-12 provides 622.08 Mbps.
OC-3 - Optical Carrier, level 3. OC-3 is the equivalent of three
DS-3, or T3, lines or 155.52 Mbps.
T1 - A 1.544Mbps telephone line that is made up of 24 64Kbps
lines. The name comes from the telecommunications committee that
designed it.
T3 - A 44.736Mbps telephone line made up of 28 T1 lines.
xDSL - The DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. The 'x'
stands for any number of variations on the technology. The most
common in the United States is Asymmetric DSL, or ADSL. The
Asymmetric designation means that the technology provides
different upload and download speeds. A variant called HDSL, for
High bit rate DSL, is already widely used to provide T1 lines.
The DSL technology makes it possible to use the excess capacity
in standard copper telephone lines to carry network traffic. The
speed varies, depending on how far the user is from the nearest
switching station. It can theoretically provide up to 8Mbps, but
more typically provides something less than 2Mbps |
