firewall
(1) Isolation of LAN segments from each other to protect data resources and help manage traffic.
(2) Hardware or software that restricts traffic to a private network from an unsecured network.
En ægte Firewall er server-baseret. NB: Firewall-funktioner findes også i router, gateway, bridge.
Filters packets between two networks.
Forhindrer uautoriseret adgang.
Indeholder ofte en proxy server.
May provide audit reports.
 
[whatis]: A firewall is a set of related programs, located at a network gateway server, that protects the resources of a private network from users from other networks. (The term also implies the security policy that is used with the programs.) An enterprise with an intranet that allows its workers access to the wider Internet installs a firewall to prevent outsiders from accessing its own private data resources and for controlling what outside resources its own users have access to.
Basically, a firewall, working closely with a router program, filters all network packets to determine whether to forward them toward their destination. A firewall also includes or works with a proxy server that makes network requests on behalf of workstation users. A firewall is often installed in a specially designated computer separate from the rest of the network so that no incoming request can get directly at private network resources.
There are a number of firewall screening methods. A simple one is to screen requests to make sure they come from acceptable (previously identified) domain names and IP addresses. For mobile users, firewalls allow remote access in to the private network by the use of secure logon procedures and authentication certificates.
A number of companies make firewall products. Features include logging and reporting, automatic alarms at given thresholds of attack, and a graphical user interface for controlling the firewall.

FRAD = Frame Relay Assembler/Disassembler
a combination CSU/DSU and router that connects an internal network to a frame relay connection by converting data packets to/from frame relay format.

Frame Relay
Layer 2 packet-switching protocol - til WAN forbindelse.
Frame Relay er valget, hvis man bruger nettet mere end 2-3 timer om dagen, eller hvis man har behov for større kapacitet, end ISDN tilbyder. Frame Relay leveres (i Sektornet) i kapaciteter mellem 64 kbps og 2 Mbps. Der betales en oprettelsesafgift og derefter et fast kvartalsabonnement. Fordelen er, at man ikke behøver være bange for, at brugen af nettet medfører uforudsete høje teleregninger. Prisen er fast uanset forbruget.
Frame relay is a telecommunication service designed for cost-efficient data transmission for intermittent traffic between local area networks (LANs) and between end-points in a wide area network (WAN). Frame relay puts data in a variable-size unit called a frame and leaves any necessary error correction (retransmission of data) up to the end-points, which speeds up overall data transmission. For most services, the network provides a permanent virtual circuit (PVC), which means that the customer sees a continous, dedicated connection without having to pay for a full-time leased line, while the service provider figures out the route each frame travels to its destination and can charge based on usage. An enterprise can select a level of service quality - prioritizing some frames and making others less important. Frame relay is offered by a number of service providers, including AT&T. Frame relay is provided on fractional or full T-1 carriers. Frame relay complements and provides a mid-range service between ISDN, which offers bandwidth at 128 Kbps, and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), which operates in somewhat similar fashion to frame relay but at speeds from 155.520 Mbps or 622.080 Mbps.
Frame relay is based on the older X.25 packet-switching technology which was designed for transmitting analog data such as voice conversations. Unlike X.25 which was designed for analog signals, frame relay is a fast-packet technology, which means that the protocol does not attempt to correct errors. When an error is detected in a frame, it is simply "dropped." (thrown away). The end points are responsible for detecting and retransmitting dropped frames. (However, the incidence of error in digital networks is extraordinarily small relative to analog networks.)
Frame relay is often used to connect local area networks with major backbones as well as on public wide area networks and also in private network environments with leased lines over T-1 lines. . It requires a dedicated connection during the transmission period. It's not ideally suited for voice or video transmission, which requires a steady flow of transmissions. However, under certain circumstances, it is used for voice and video transmission.
Frame relay relays packets at the data-link layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model rather than at the network layer. A frame can incorporate packets from different protocols such as Ethernet and X.25. It is variable in size and can be as large as a thousand bytes or more.

FreeBSD
FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible, amd64 compatible, Alpha/AXP, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC architectures. It is derived from BSD, the version of UNIX developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It is developed and maintained by a large team of individuals. Additional platforms are in various stages of development.

FTP = File Transfer Protocol
TCP/IP protokol, som på Internettet benyttes til transport af filer. Især benytes FTP-protokollen til vedligeholdelse af web-sider, fordi filer kan kopieres begge veje (upload og download) mellem webserver og klient.
 
Der bruges to porte på serveren til en FTP-overførsel: Data overføres via IP-port 20 - kontrolsignaler via port 21.
 
In an URL, ftp:// assumes that the connection will be made using regular anonymous FTP - but it is possible to specify username and password: ftp://username:password@server/directory...

FWA = Fixed Wireless Access
Et FWA-system består af små kortrækkende radiosendere, som monteres i eksisterende GSM-master eller andre steder. Kunderne får en lignende antenne på deres tag, og bliver dermed forbundet konstant trådløst til et netværk, som oftest Internettet. Hastighederne er på højde med ADSL. FWA arbejder i frekvensbåndene 3,5 GHz og 26 GHz, hvor sidstnævnte primært udbydes til virksomheder med store båndbreddebehov. Rækkevidden er op til 10 km.
