DLNA - Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)
is an international association of producers of computers, entertainment
electronics and mobiles whose goal is to achieve compatibility of devices from
various producers from the branch of consumer and home appliances.
Ethernet
is a technology for cable data network, which originally was designed for local
data networks (LAN's) and which is also described as LAN-technology. It
enables data exchange in form of data packets between devices (computers,
printers, etc.) connected to the local network (LAN). Currently transfer rates of
10 Megabit/s, 100 Megabit/s (Fast Ethernet), 1 Gigabit/s (Gigabit Ethernet) up
to 10 Gigabit/s are specified. In its orgiginal meaning LAN covers the area of a
single building, but nowadays through optical fibers Ethernet connects also
devices located far from each other.
DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
enables the allotment of network configuration to clients through a server.
Through DHCP the automatic connection of a computer to the existing
network is possible without manual configuration.
IP-Address
is an address in computer networks, which - like for example the Internet –
rests upon the Internet protocol (IP). It is allocated to devices, which are
connected to the network and thus makes the devices detectable and
accessible. The IP-Address can denominate an individual recipient or a group

of recipients (multicast, broadcast). The other way round, numerous IP
addresses can be allocated to one computer.
DNS - Domain Name System
is one of the most important services in the network. Its main task is answering
inquiries about name resolution.
Router
is a network device, which connects or disconnects - depending on the point
of view - numerous computer networks. In the process the router analyses
incoming data packages according to their target addresses and blocks them
or transmits them.
