Interface & Network
According to Apple Expert, Kristy C., Apple uses a network called AirPort Extreme card, which is a wireless card that picks up a WiFi signal, not a broadcast network. Apple's new AirPort Extreme Base Station solves three major wireless networking problems in one blow: speed, range, and configuration. The gateway also makes sharing multiple printers and hard drives across a network as easy as plugging in a cable with no extra messy wires. This new wireless router promises roughly five times the throughput and twice the range of the previous model. And it is backward compatible with Apple's earlier AirPort adapters.
The AirPort Extreme still works with the AirPort Express (older version), which lets you extend your network and stream iTunes music around the house, securely with Wi-Fi Protected Access options to shield those things you would rather not share. “Its clean new design is similar to the iPod and Mac Mini, and its U.S.B. port now allows sharing of a hard drive as well as a printer across the network.” Apple says nearly all of its current Macs are 802.11n-capable.
According to Eduardo Kibel, an industry analyst with the mobile communications group of Toronto-based Frost & Sullivan Canada, the former wireless standard, 802.11g only had 54 MB per second, while the new standard will boast a speed of 270MB per second and increased range of 330 feet, from previous standard's 165 ft.

Connecting Devices
Apple is related to Bonjor connection. It is an automatic connection where computers and devices automatically broadcast their own services and listen for services being offered for the use of others. Every major printer manufacturer has now adopted Apple’s Bonjour technology, so you can add any modern printer to a network without configuring it at all. Your Mac will automatically discover and connect to any available Bonjour-enabled printer it sees on the network. Bonjour works with the popular standard connection technologies, including Ethernet and AirPort (802.11). It uses the standard, ubiquitous IP networking protocol for its connections, the same protocol that runs the Internet itself. And all of the technologies driving Bonjour are open — part of the standards creation process of the IETF, like Bonjour itself.
Connecting to the Internet
Apple connects to the Internet using AirPort Utility. If you think setting up a wireless network is difficult, think again. AirPort Utility for Mac and Windows guides you through the process, and you’ll have your network up and running in minutes. For the most basic setup, all you have to do is plug your AirPort Express into an electrical outlet and connect your DSL or cable modem. Then open the AirPort Utility software and just follow the onscreen instructions. The software takes you through step by step, asking for relevant information, setting up encryption and security, and configuring your computer to access your new network — all in plain English.Whether you use a Mac or a PC, the whole network can be ready to go in about five minutes. And if you want to do more — such as stream your music wirelessly or add a shared USB printer — it’s just as easy.
IP
Mac OS X Server is built on open, industry-standard protocols and the latest in network security standards. The result is due to Increased performance and security of server deployments. Using the time-tested BSD sockets and TCP/IP stack, this advanced networking architecture ensures compatibility and integration with IP-based networks.
Principles of Network Security
Apple applies the four principles of network security by offering a valid source of confidentiality with their terms and agreement statement. This statement also informs the customer that this information is in fact coming from the source it claims to come from validating its authenticity. Apple has their terms and agreement which explains their integrity and availability. Whether looking up online or calling the store via telephone any answer to any question is answered honestly. Their security and access controls explain Mac OS X Server is built on an advanced architecture to deliver the features you want with the security you need. It’s designed to protect your server, your network, and your data with a host of features — including built-in firewall with stateful packet analysis, strong encryption and authentication services, data security architectures, and support for access control lists (ACLs).
Domain Name
Domain names containing scripts that are not in the allowed list will be displayed in an ASCII format called "Punycode." For example, an imposter website with the URL " http://www.apple.com/" that uses the Cyrillic letter "a" would be displayed as "http://www.xn--pple-43d.com" for your protection. This conversion prevents disabled scripts from being confused with other scripts.
