Data overflow occurs when a device receives too much data before it can handle it. Flow control instructs the sender how much information should be transferred to the recipient. This allows the data to be processed at an effective rate and prevents data loss or retransmission. There are mainly three types of flow control. In ...
The Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) makes sure that when access circuits or network edge devices have first-hop failures, user traffic is instantly and transparently restored. With HSRP, you can set up two or more routers as standby routers and just one router as active at once. The Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) allows devices ...
Circuit switching is a type of network configuration in which a physical path is acquired and set aside specifically for the purpose of connecting two endpoints in a network for the duration of a dedicated connection. Circuit switching is employed by typical voice phone services. Using different network devices, Packet switching divides data into smaller units called packets or blocks and transmits them across ...
Routing is the process of choosing a path for transferring data from a source to a destination. Routing is performed using devices called routers. In order to send the packet by determining the best route from one network to another, routing is carried out at the network layer. The network layer primarily makes sure that ...
