neighbors

radio frequency

The frequency of waves generated by a radio signal, which are electromagnetic frequencies above audio and below light

name resolution

The process of associating a character-based computer name to an IP address.

port filtering

To open or close certain ports so they can or cannot be used. A firewall uses port filtering to protect a network from unwanted communication.
