;infrastructure mode: network connectivity through a Wi-Fi access point, e.g., 802.11b/g

;mesh mode: network connectivity through a mesh network, e.g., 802.11s

;simple mesh mode: a mesh network that is running between ~~laptops~~ without a School Server

;simple mesh mode: a mesh network that is running between Sugar users without a School Server

;school server mesh mode: a mesh network that is mediated by a School Server

;presence:a discovery service for finding other ~~laptops~~ on ~~the~~ network

;presence:a discovery service for finding other Sugar users on a network

;jabber: a protocol that ~~the laptop uses~~ for collaboration

;jabber: a protocol that Sugar can use for collaboration

;tubes: a protocol for passing data between ~~laptops~~

;tubes: a protocol for passing data between Sugar users

;mesh channel: ~~the laptops use~~ three channels for communication: 1, 6, and 11; in simple mesh mode, the ~~laptops~~ can only see other ~~laptops~~ on the same channel; in a School Server mesh, ~~laptops~~ on all channels are visible

;mesh channel: Sugar prefers three channels for communication: 1, 6, and 11; in simple mesh mode, the Sugar users can only see other users on the same channel; in a School Server mesh, users on all channels are visible

;access point (AP): an AP is a device that connects wireless communication devices together to form a wireless network. The AP usually connects to a wired network and can relay data between wireless devices and wired devices. Several APs can link together to form a larger network.

;mesh portal point: a mesh node that serves as a gateway (portal) to a network external to the mesh
