for security at the network or packet processing layer of network
communication. Earlier security approaches have inserted security at
the Application layer of the communications model. IPsec is said to be
especially useful for implementing virtual private networks and for
remote user access through dial-up connection to private networks. A
big advantage of IPsec is that security arrangements can be handled
without requiring changes to individual user computers. Cisco has been
a leader in proposing IPsec as a standard (or combination of standards
and technologies) and has included support for it in its network routers.
IPv6
IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) is the latest level of the Internet
Protocol (IP) and is now included as part of IP support in many products
including the major computer operating systems. IPv6 has also been
called "IPng" (IP Next Generation). Formally, IPv6 is a set of
specifications from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). IPv6 was
designed as an evolutionary set of improvements to the current IP
Version 4. Network hosts and intermediate nodes with either IPv4 or IPv6
can handle packets formatted for either level of the Internet Protocol.
Users and service providers can update to IPv6 independently without
having to coordinate with each other.
ISP
An ISP (Internet service provider) is a company that provides individuals
and other companies access to the Internet and other related services
such as Web site building and virtual hosting. An ISP has the equipment
and the telecommunication line access required to have a point-of-
presence on the Internet for the geographic area served. The larger
ISPs have their own high-speed leased lines so that they are less
dependent on the telecommunication providers and can provide
better service to their customers. Among the largest national and
regional ISPs are AT&T WorldNet, IBM Global Network, MCI, Netcom,
UUNet, and PSINet.
ITU-T
The ITU-T (for Telecommunication Standardization Sector of the
International Telecommunications Union) is the primary international
body for fostering cooperative standards for telecommunications
equipment and systems. It was formerly known as the CCITT. It is located
in Geneva, Switzerland
IVR
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is a software application that accepts
a combination of voice telephone input and touch-tone keypad
selection and provides appropriate responses in the form of voice, fax,
callback, e-mail and perhaps other media. IVR is usually part of a larger
