Fragmentation in Networking

Fragmentation is a process that divides packets into smaller pieces (fragments) so that the resulting pieces can travel across a link with a smaller maximum transmission unit (MTU) than the original packet size. The network layer fragments data when the maximum size of a datagram exceeds the maximum size of data that can be retained ...

Virtual LAN

A VLAN or Virtual Local Area Network is a customized network built from one or more local area networks. It allows a group of devices from different networks to be integrated into a single logical network. As a result, a virtual LAN is created that can be managed just like a physical LAN. Without VLANs, ...

LiFi vs WiFi

WiFi stands for Wireless Fidelity, while LiFi stands for Light Fidelity. LiFi and WiFi are both primarily utilized for internet-based applications. LiFi employs light as a medium for data transmission, whereas WiFi uses electromagnetic waves at various radio frequencies. Light experiences less interference than radio waves and can therefore be employed in settings with greater ...

Difference between HTML and HTTP

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) and HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) are two completely distinct technologies. HTTP is an application protocol that governs how information travels on the World Wide Web, whereas HTML governs how Web pages are formatted and displayed. HTTP protocol determines how Web data is moved around the internet, whereas HTML is the ...

Difference between Ping and Traceroute

In computer networks, the data between sender and receiver is transferred in small units or blocks known as packets. Each packet is transmitted separately and may take a different path to reach its destination. Once all of these packets of the original message arrive at their destination, they are reassembled to form the original message. ...

How to Make Open Ports Secure?

What Are Open Ports and How Do They Work? A port is a communication endpoint where all network communications begin and end. A port recognizes a specific process or service and is assigned a number based on its specialized function. Network ports allow devices to communicate with each other remotely over the internet, regulating how ...

Differences Between Virtual Circuits & Datagram Networks

Virtual Circuits are also known as connection-oriented switching. Virtual circuit switching establishes a predetermined path before messages are sent. In contrast, a datagram is a packet-switching technique in which each packet, known as a datagram, is treated as a separate entity. Each packet carries destination information, which the switch uses to route the packet to ...

Multiplexing in Computer Networks

Multiplexing is a technique that allows different analog and digital transmission streams to be handled at the same time across a shared link. Multiplexing converts a high-capacity medium into a low-capacity logical medium, subsequently shared by multiple streams. The process of combining data streams or input is called Multiplexing, and the hardware used for multiplexing ...

Difference between HTTP and HTTPS

Have you ever seen http:// or https:// in a browser’s address bar while browsing a website? Both protocols allow a web server and a web browser to exchange data related to a specific website. What distinguishes these two, though? Well, https is secure since it has an extra s in it! The very short and ...

Mobile Ad hoc Network

A wireless ad hoc network (WANET) or mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a type of wireless network that is decentralized. Since it doesn’t rely on a pre-existing infrastructure, like routers in wired networks or access points in wireless networks, the network is ad hoc. Instead, each node takes part in routing by sending data ...
