tunnel
A method of transporting data in one protocol by encapsulating it in another protocol. Tunneling is
used for reasons of incompatibility, implementation simplification, or security. For example, a tunnel
lets a remote

to access the tables in a small, fixed number of lookups, independent of the existing number of
entries.
U
UDP
User Datagram Protocol. A connectionless transport layer protocol in the IP protocol stack. UDP is a
simple protocol that exchanges datagrams without acknowledgments or guaranteed delivery, which
requires other protocols to handle error processing and retransmission. UDP is defined in RFC 768.
UMTS
Universal Mobile Telecommunication System. An extension of
all-IP network by delivering broadband information, including commerce and entertainment services,
to mobile users via fixed, wireless, and satellite networks.
Unicast RPF
Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding. Unicast RPF guards against spoofing by ensuring that packets have
a source IP address that matches the correct source interface according to the routing table.
URL
Uniform Resource Locator. A standardized addressing scheme for accessing hypertext documents and
other services using a browser. For example, http://www.cisco.com.
user EXEC mode
The lowest privilege level at the ASA CLI. The user EXEC mode prompt appears as follows when you
first access the ASA:

mode.
UTC
Coordinated Universal Time. The time zone at zero degrees longitude, previously called Greenwich
Mean Time (GMT) and Zulu time. UTC replaced GMT in 1967 as the world time standard. UTC is
based on an atomic time scale rather than an astronomical time scale.
UTRAN
Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network. Networking protocol used for implementing wireless
networks in UMTS. GTP allows multi-protocol packets to be tunneled through a UMTS/GPRS
backbone between a GGSN, an

V
VLAN
Virtual LAN. A group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured (using management
software) so that they can communicate as if they were attached to the same physical network cable,
when they are located on a number of different
