Expressions Definition
Cisco Wireless IP Phone 7920 The Wireless IP Phone 7920 is a mobile phone branded by Cisco Systems, Inc. that communicates via IEEE 802.11b technology. According to C. Giancarlo, senior vice-president of switching, voice, and carrier systems at Cisco (as cited in ComputerWeekly.com Ltd., 2003), the 7920 was not intended to replace traditional mobile phones. Instead, he said, it was intended for use exclusively within an enterprise. (references)
IP (complexity) In computational complexity theory, IP (Interactive Polynomial-time) is a complexity class of problems solvable by a particular kind of interactive proof system. There are two machines, a prover and a verifier. The prover is an all-powerful machine with no resource bounds, and the verifier is a probabilistic polynomial-time machine, the same type of machine used to define the class BPP. These two machines send messages back and forth a polynomial number of times, and at the end the verifier must decide whether or not the string is in the language. (references)
IP aliasing IP aliasing is the process of adding more than one IP address to a network interface. With this, one node on a network can have multiple connections to a network, each serving a different purpose. (references)
Ip Ching Ip Ching (葉正, born 1936) is Yip Man's youngest son. (references)
Ip Chun Ip Chun (葉準 or Yip Jun 1924- ) is Yip Man's eldest son. (references)
Ip dip Ip dip is a rhythmic rhyming game with many variations, the purpose of which is to select an individual from a group, for instance to choose the starting player of a game. It has been commonly used in British playgrounds for many years. (references)
IP Hijacking IP Hijacking (also sometimes referred to as BGP hijacking) is the use of IP address space that belongs to another organization. (references)
IP Multicast IP Multicast is a method whereby a message can be sent simultaneously to several computers, instead of singly to one computer. In order to do this, the message is sent to a range of addresses reserved for multicast groups (224.x.x.x-240.x.x.x) - each computer must also decide whether or not they wish to be part of a specific group. (A computer can subscribe to the same group more than once - in such a case, each subscribing application receives a separate copy of each message received on the group IP address). (references)
IP rating An IP rating is a two- or three digit number, stating the ingress protection level of electrical equipment. (references)
IP Unity IP Unity is a VoIP based enhanced carrier grade products and services company. Major products include Mereon 6000 Media Server hardware and application software products Unified Messaging and Conferencing products. (references)
IP Video Quality Alliance The IP Video Quality Alliance was founded to promote the use of IP networks as a transport medium for video. A key part of its charter is to identify new and existing standards, policies and test procedures to improve the reliability, constancy and performance of the IP transport network. (references)

Stephen Ip Stephen Ip 葉澍 (born 1955) is currently the Secretary for Economic Development and Labour in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. He was appointed to the position on July 1, 2002. (references)
Virtual IP A virtual IP address (VIP) is an IP address that is not connected to a specific computer or network interface card (NIC) on a computer. Incoming packets are sent to the VIP address, but all packets travel through real network interfaces. VIPs are mostly used for connection redundancy, a VIP address may still be available if a computer or NIC fails because an alternative computer or NIC replies to connections. (references)
Voice over IP Security Alliance The Voice over IP Security Alliance (VOIPSA) was launched in early 2005 to bring together Voice over IP and information security vendors, providers, and thought leaders to address current and emerging security threats to VoIP. (references)

Conferencing over IP Computing Conferencing over IP (CoIP) The IMTC Activity Group trying to standardize IP Telephony through the use of ITU-T H.323. The VoIP forum of the IMTC merged with the H.323 Activity Group in January 1999 to form the Conferencing over IP (CoIP) Activity Group. VoIP uses "VoIP Devices" as gateways to route voice packets over the Internet or PSTN. It uses protocols such as SGCP and its successor MGCP. Home (http://www.imtc.org/act_coipbody.htm).

IP Telephony Computing (IPT, Internet Telephony) Use of IP data connections to exchange voice and fax data that have traditionally been carried over the public switched telephone network. During the late 1990s, an increasing number of telephone calls have been routed over the Internet. Calls made in this way avoid PSTN charges. Unlike traditional telephony, IP telephony is relatively unregulated. Companies providing these services are known as Internet Telephony Service Providers (ITSPs). They include telephone companies, cable TV companies and Internet Service Providers (ISPs). There are still many problems with voice quality, latency, compression algorithms, and quality of service. Voice over IP is an organised effort to standardise IP telephony. See also Computer Telephone Integration. Internet Telephony Overview (http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/projects/ipt/).
