Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, pronounced tee-kip, is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for
wireless LANs. TKIP is the next generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure
802.11 wireless LANs. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism,
thus fixing the flaws of WEP.
Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
TCP/IP is the protocol suite developed by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). It is widely used in
corporate Internet works, because of its superior design for WANs. TCP governs how packet is sequenced for
transmission the network. The term “TCP/IP” is often used generically to refer to the entire suite of related protocols.
Transmit / Receive
The wireless throughput in Bytes per second averaged over two seconds.
Wi-Fi Alliance
The Wi-Fi Alliance is a nonprofit international association formed in 1999 to certify interoperability of wireless
Local Area Network products based on IEEE 802.11 specification. The goal of the Wi-Fi Alliance’s members is to
enhance the user experience through product interoperability. The organization is formerly known as WECA.
