26. CGI Common Gateway Interface. Common Access Interface. Programs used to
make calls to routines or control other programs or databases from a Web page.
They can also directly generate HTML.
27. CIR Commited Information Rate It is the minimum flow of information that the
telephone operator to the customer (usually the access provider) guarantees the
rest of the bandwidth is therefore subject to the state of the network and the needs
of the telephone operator.
28. CIX Commercial Internet Exchange. Commercial Internet Exchange.
29. Connection Provider Connection Provider Entity that provides and manages
physical link to the Internet
30. COOKIE Small piece of data that the HTTP server program sends to the WWW
browser so that it saves it. Usually it is about information about the connection or
the data required, in this way you can know what the user did in the last visit.

35. DCD Data Carrier Detected. Detected Data Carrier.
36. DCE Data Communication Equipment. Data Communication Equipment
37. DDE Dynamic Data Exchange. Dynamic Data Exchange. Microsoft specification
suite for data exchange and flow control between applications.
38. DES Data Encryption Standard. Standard Encryption Algorithm. Algorithm
developed by IBM uses 64-bit data blocks and a 56-bit key. It is used by the
American government.
39. Dialup Dial. Establish a data connection across a telephone line.
