Glossary
WINS
The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) is a server process for resolving Windows-
based computer names to IP addresses. It provides information that allows these systems
to browse remote networks using the Network Neighborhood.
Wireless Networking Framework
There are two ways of organizing a wireless network:
• Stations communicate directly with one another in an Ad hoc Mode network, also known as
an independent basic service set (IBSS).
• Stations communicate through an Access Point in an Infrastructure Mode network. A single
access point creates an infrastructure basic service set (BSS) whereas multiple access
points are organized in an extended service set (ESS).
WLAN
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a LAN that uses high-frequency radio waves rather
than wires to communicate between its nodes.
WME
Wireless Multimedia Enhancements (WME) is a subset of the 802.11e draft specification. It
uses four priority queues between an Access Point and its clients. WME provides an interim,
standards-based QoS solution.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a Wi-Fi Alliance version of the draft IEEE 802.11i standard. It
provides more sophisticated data encryption than WEP and also provides user authentication.
WPA includes TKIP and 802.1x mechanisms.
WRAP
Wireless Robust Authentication Protocol (WRAP) is an encryption method for 802.11i that
uses AES but another encryption mode (OCB) for encryption and integrity.
XML
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a specification developed by the W3C. XML is a
simple, flexible text format derived from Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML),
which is defined in ISO 8879:1986, designed especially for electronic publish
ing.
