VPN (virtual private network)
As far as the user of a VPN is concerned, the network appears to be a private network – with the security and network performance benefits of a dedicated network – but is actually carried by means of a public network (e.g. the Internet). The result is a virtual private network achieved at lower cost.aA A A A A A+S A-law A/D A= AA AAA AAA AAI AAL AAL-IE AAL1 AAL2 AAL3/4 AAL5 AAR AARP ABM ABNF ABOR ABR ABR AC AC AC ac ACAP ACB ACCT ACD ACE ACF ACF ACFC ACI ACK ACL ACR ACSE AD ad adaptive differential pulse code modulation (ADPCM ADC ADDMD ADM ADMD administrator ADPCM ADS ADSL ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line) ADSP adspec advanced peer to peer networking (APPN) AE ae AEP aero AES AF af AFI AFP AFT ag agent AgentX AH AHIP ai AII AIM AIS AL AL al ALG ALLO am AM AM AMI amplification amplitude amplitude modulation (AM) AMPS AMR AMR-WB AMS AMSIX AN AN an ANA analogue transmission ANI ANS ANSI anycast ao AO AOI AOL AOW AP AP AP APDU APEX API APL RR APNIC APOP APP APPC APPE APPL application application layer APPN APS aq AR ar ARC ARCFOUR ARCNET ARE AREQUIPA ARIN ARL ARP ARPA arpa ARPANET ARPANET ARQ ARR ARR ARS ARS AS as AS (autonomous system) ASBR ASC ASCII ASCII (American standard code for information inte ASE ASIC ASK ASM ASN.1 ASO ASP asynchronous data transfer asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) at AT&T ATCP ATE ATM ATM-LE ATMARP ATME ATMM AtmMIB ATMP ATO ATP ATS attenuation attenuation distortion AU au AuC audio circuits AUG AUI AUTH AUU AVI AVI AVMMS AVP aw AW AWG Awnd AYT az
